The Supreme Court of India on March 9, 2018, recognising the right to die with dignity as a fundamental right, ruled that passive euthanasia and advance ‘living will’ are permissible. Passive euthanasia is basically a practice of intentionally ending a patient’s life in order to relieve the patient from pain and suffering. The apex court ruled that individuals can draft a ‘living will’ specifying that they shall not be put on ventilator or an artificial life support system, if they undergo an incurable coma in the future.
