The Supreme Court said a person has the 'right to die with dignity' and can make an advance living will authorising the withdrawal of life-support system


In a historic judgement, the Supreme Court on Friday held that the right to die with dignity is a fundamental right, saying that an individual could make an advance "living will" that would authorise passive euthanasia under certain circumstances. The apex court's Bench held that passive euthanasia and living will were legally valid.

While the decision has received a thumbs up from the medical fraternity and top Jain monk Tarun Sagar, the Catholic Church has criticised the verdict, saying that right to life is in God's hands and the decision should not be "acceptable to anyone who believes in humanity to kill a person suffering from old age or sickness due to sympathy".

The apex court said on its verdict that a person could prepare a "living will", under which the withdrawal of life-support system could be authorised if he reached an irreversible stage of terminal illness in the medical view.
