In the Indian Judicial system, Capital Punishment is permitted only in the "rarest of the rarest" cases. And then too, there is an option of challenging that verdict. I propose to find out a middle road. Keep Euthanasia as a rarest of the rarest option and deal with it on a case to case basis. There are many factors to be determined. What is the underlying reason for which the patient wishes to die? Can it be solved through some psychological methods? Is there any possibility of this decision being taken under stress or compulsion?.... Lets remember that in India, more than the pain, it is the financial or social implications resulting from the disease that make the patient want to die. Euthanasia is not the answer then. Treat it on a case to case basis. Its time consuming, but still viable.
