Euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending a life to relive pain and suffering. Euthanasia is the most difficult part of a doctor's job to painlessly killing a human being or animal for humane reasons to end the great suffering or poor quality of life.
Two types of euthanasia exist in the world:
1.Passive euthanasia that meanswithdrawal of life support system of a patient who is suffering from severe brain damage and is in a state of partial consciousness rather than true awareness around them is legal in India.
2. Active euthanasia that requires the use of lethal substances or a force to kill a person, e.g. inject a lethal injection. This means that if a patient who is suffering from the cancer in the last stage and can't be diagnosed is administered a lethal drug in order to pass away them peacefully.
Recently, The Supreme Court of India in a landmark judgement announced that passive euthanasia will be legally allowed in India. However, active euthanasia should not be legalized in India because in a country of more than a billion people where a large majority is already suffering from unemployment will choose to die because they will think of themselves as a burden to the family and instead of fighting the disease they will go for the other short cut way.
