ABSTRACT
The practice of euthanasia involves assisting in the death of a terminally ill patient to alleviate their suffering and demonstrate compassion. There are both theoretical and practical reasons why euthanasia is a contentious issue. The topic’s evolution and acceptance are changing. This revelation raises essential questions about bioethics and medicine. A more just and ethical connection between healthcare practitioners and patients with terminal illnesses has emerged due to medical practice advances, allowing for the extension of life expectancy.
Along with influencing ethical acceptability, it has impacted societal and individual perspectives. Emotions may run high while discussing euthanasia. Several prominent figures in the fields of law and medicine hold the view that assisted suicide should be lawful in scarce circumstances. A small fraction of society also sees euthanasia as assisted suicide.
Through this paper, the author intends to understand the concept of Euthanasia in India. Additionally, the author also analyses the jurisprudential aspect of euthanasia through this paper.
