Recently, a two-judge bench of supreme court belonging to justice JB Pardiwala and Justice KV Viswanathan, has given first judgement regarding the case of passive Euthanasia.
Harish rana, a
software engineer, has fallen from the fourth floor of his apartment in 2013. He
had very serious head injury and other parts of body also got fractured. Since then,
he was admitted in hospital and was under the guidance of AIIMS Delhi. The
family of Harish was very actively caring to him with the help of Nurses and
doctors. they were in hope that their
child will stand very early. In 2024, when Delhi High court has told them to
give passive euthanasia, then parents of harish went to supreme court. firstly,
the apex court denied them but after another plea apex court decided to hear
their case.
Active
euthanasia is the process in which physician may prescribe a lethal drug or
injection to relieve the suffering of a person with no hope of recovery. It is
legal in USA, UK, and also in some parts of Europe but it is illegal in Bharat.
Passive
Euthanasia allows a person to die naturally by withholding life sustaining
treatments. Patient or their families can refuse treatment such as
cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, ventilator support, chemotherapy, radiotherapy,
dialysis or specialized nutrition.
Supreme court in
its decision told that everybody has right to live dignified life under article
21. They said that Harish is unable to stand in future and his condition is
getting very worse day by day. so, it becomes necessary that Harish can get a
right to die with dignity. Justice Pardiwala also praised the parents of
Harish. He said that both of you are going to become an inspiration for the
parents and people who became very emotionally connected in their worst case
also. Parents of Harish requested that don’t call this process as euthanasia
for their child. They said that they re putting their son in lap of God by
hoping that he will get Mukti from these types of sufferings. They said that
they will now feel very emptiness in their house because they were serving
their son for a long period of time. Instead of intensive caring, the body of
Harish has started showing very bad response causing bed sore, weakening of
bones and muscles etc. He was eating food through gastronomy pipe for last 13
years.
At the time of
judgement both of judges were very emotional after seeing the faces of the
parents. During hearing, both judges met his parents in their chamber and
praised them and told them that they are going to become an inspiration for generations.
They ordered AIIMS Delhi to provide all type of facilities for harish for
reaching his home. They ended their verdict by saying
THE
GREATEST TRAGEDY IS NOT DEATH BUT ABATEMENT
