SC allows India's first ever passive euthanasia: What are the legal and medical implications?

The Supreme Court of India has permitted the withdrawal of life support for a 32-year-old man who has remained in a permanent vegetative state for 13 years, marking the first implementation of India’s passive euthanasia framework under judicial supervision. In this panel discussion, ThePrint's Ruchi Bhattar and Sneha Richhariya speak with senior advocate Jayna Kothari and Dr Rajat Agrawal, Director of Critical Care at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute in New Delhi, to unpack the legal and medical implications of the ruling. The discussion revolves around what passive euthanasia means in medical terms, the legal evolution from the Aruna Shanbaug case to the Common Cause judgment, and why doctors have long demanded clearer guidelines for end-of-life care. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exclusive content, special privileges & more – Subscribe to ThePrint for Special benefits: https://theprint.in/subscribe/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with ThePrint » Subscribe to ThePrint: https://theprint.in/subscribe/ » Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3nCMpht » Like us on Facebook:   / theprintindia   » Tweet us on Twitter:   / theprintindia   » Follow us on Instagram:   / theprintindia   » Find us on LinkedIn :   / theprint   » Subscribe to ThePrint on Telegram: https://t.me/ThePrintIndia » Find us on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2NMVlnB » Find us on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3pEOta8
