Putting into practice of morality: Subjects of suicide and euthanasia with special references to Indian laws and judicial pronouncements

Morally speaking, suicide and euthanasia are completely unacceptable; therefore, from a religious perspective, these practices are prohibited. Judgements have a crucial role in setting an example that serves as the foundation for the administration of justice in India's legal system. One of the most noticeable and invasive instances of the decade in which euthanasia and the right of an individual to die have been discussed is Aruna Ramachandra Shanbaug vs. Union of India (2011). A number of rights, including the right to a clean environment, the right to financial support, and many more, are part of the fortunate ultimate right to life. According to medical jurisprudence, the right to die has been shown to be predictable, and family members may soon take advantage of this right. This landmark ruling supported the approach and circumstances that allowed for the approval of reflexive euthanasia.

Abstract

Morally speaking, suicide and euthanasia are completely unacceptable; therefore, from a religious perspective, these practices are prohibited. Judgements have a crucial role in setting an example that serves as the foundation for the administration of justice in India's legal system. One of the most noticeable and invasive instances of the decade in which euthanasia and the right of an individual to die have been discussed is Aruna Ramachandra Shanbaug vs. Union of India (2011). A number of rights, including the right to a clean environment, the right to financial support, and many more, are part of the fortunate ultimate right to life. According to medical jurisprudence, the right to die has been shown to be predictable, and family members may soon take advantage of this right. This landmark ruling supported the approach and circumstances that allowed for the approval of reflexive euthanasia.
