Should mercy killing be legalized?


Should mercy killing be legalized?

I Sparsh Sachdeva student of lovely professional university. I am privileged that i am sharing my views on the most controversial topic on religious and humanitarian ground.
Should mercy killing be legalized is the one of the most controversial topic in most of the part of the world. According to this law only patients who are in a state of unbearable, continuous and incurable suffering have given authority to request to die. Netherland become the first county in the world to legalize the mercy killing. This news attract the attention of vast majority of the world towards the enthanasia/Mercy killing. Although authority of Netherland have turned blind eye on mercy killing law. India constitution also not untouched by the controversy to legalize mercy killing or not and India yet have to decide whether to legalize the mercy killing or not. As mercy killing become one of the most famous topic in news on 9th of March 2018. When Aruna Shanbang case was filled in the Supreme Court of India arguing that “continued existence of Aruna Shanbang is in violation of her right to live in dignity”. As Aruna was hospitalized and on life support from 27 November 1973 after being raped by sohanlal Walmiki a sweeper. The Supreme Court rejected the plan of removing life support of Aruna but issued a complete set of guidelines which passively legalize passive Mercy killing/ enthanasia in India for first time. Although Aruna was died from pneumonia on 18th may 2015. Various religious group also denied this concept but on the other hand Some of the leaders like health minister of France who himself being a Dr. Supported the concept of mercy killing.

Thank you
