Court Clears Passive Euthanasia, Says Death Can Be Celebration | Read
People have the right to die with dignity, the Supreme Court said today in a landmark verdict that permits the removal of life support systems for the terminally ill or those who slip into incurable coma. The top court also allowed the "living will", which lets people decide against artificial life support. "When the sanctity of life is destroyed, should we not allow them to cross the door and meet death with dignity? For some, even their death could be a moment of celebration," said a group of five judges including Chief Justice Dipak Misra.
