EUTHANASIA RISK

The Supreme Court may have legalised passive euthanasia but exercising that option on a terminally-ill person is completely against human values. In the era of depravity, where people do not hesitate to kill even one of their own, misuse of such a law is quite likely. The family of the patients, other vested interests, doctors among others can all possibly have an ulterior motive in deciding to end the life of a patient. We will have to be very careful with the new ruling on euthanasia. Abdul Jabbar Hyderabad
