Should Euthanasia(MERCY KILLING) be legalized in India??

If the person had the right to choose his death then why make too much noise about suicide??

Her the person's health condition should be taken into consideration and then a decision must be taken...
 
i am of the opinion in case of terminal diseases euthanasia should be legalized . because when there is no hope of surviving than to see youself or your near or dear one dying a slow death is very painful.to prevent this agony it should be legalised.
 
i think euthanasia should be allowed. we know that article 21 of our constitution gives us the right to life and that too with dignity. how can an individual lead a life of dignity if he has been in a vegetative state for 30-40 years..??
 
yes it should be made legal, but only in special cases where the patient is goin thru extreme pain and will eventually die in smtym
 
The question most important is here is whether the too terminally ill, with the pain which cannot be described by words, should they live waiting for the death to grace or can euthanasia be legally permitted for the to embrace death with dignity.
In the Doctor NDTV Opinion poll, people have voted 67% in favour of euthanasia and 33% in disfavour. Nevertheless, majority of the countries are not in favour of euthanasia.
 
Before we even debate the issue of legalizing euthanasia, we have to think of the feasibility of such a law in our society and with the current law and order status in the country. In a country like ours where there is a loophole for every rule and a way to circumvent laws, legalizing euthanasia is an unnecessary burden on our legal system, which already functions at a snail's pace. Even if there are clearly defined parameters for euthanasia (which is actually very difficult to put together to everyones satisfaction) monitoring the process and ensuring that it does not get exploited by vested interests is a task beyond our country's capability. So the logic is simple here, don't bite more than you can chew. We have enough suicides and partially assisted deaths (starving an old infirm person/denying them treatment for an aliment) as it is, we don't need to legalize the process and invite more trouble.

In a country where it is legal to deny a person life saving medical intervention based on availability of cash, how can we be assured of proper healthcare for the economically poor section if state sponsored suicide/murder is made legal?
 
I think it should be allowed,
what is the point of living life when you're not living it?
Allowing Euthanasia is a huge step though and must be properly judged and monitored because it is an encouragement to people who are on the verge of developing suicidal tendancies and might motivate such people to find ways to think of life as being even more miserable
 
Yes, Euthanasia should be legalized if the patient is in severe condition or very critical. Like Aruna Shaunbaugh, the lady was suffering the pain for 42 years and all the day were black for her is such and drastic and very critical cases, yes euthanasia should be allowed. However, the debate is long and it has some flaws too. In India or in whole universe there are people who break laws and misuse it . so, we have to make strict laws if we are amending euthanasia legal.
