  • Debate has been raging for long in our country about the practicality of implementing Euthanasia or mercy killing as opponents might term it. As every human being aspires to live with dignity, it should be construed true to all those who also aspire for death with dignity as well. 

  • Since birth entails overarching love, care and affection towards the new born from respective parents’, terminally ill patients too deserves the society’s equal attention too in choosing to end their long and eventful sojourn.

  • Even though medicine per se has metamorphosed into nothing short of miracle in perpetually reinventing to ensure the longevity of human lives, there are occasions the very same advancement suspends the death by keeping patients half-alive under torturous conditions.

 

  • Such situations are not only painful to the suffering individual(s) but also disrupts the nucleus of the affected families’ beyond comprehension physically, emotionally, financially as also having to face societal pressure with its own set of challenges.

  • Since time immemorial, our country has witnessed Euthanasia in different avatar observed by different religions viz,. Santhara, Samadhi or Icchamrityu. In fact, the Jain community continues to observe Santhara even to this day.  This phenomenon is definitely not new to the nation though the modern advancement in medicine poses relevant questions vis-à-vis introducing Euthanasia as a legally backed option for the ailing.
  • Wider debate followed by consultations from various stakeholders should be the way forward for the government. Fortunately or unfortunately, individual does not have any say in one’s birth but at least should be allowed to voice opinion in choosing to die with dignity.

 

  • This being the case, the government should seriously consider enacting a suitable Euthanasia law that is not only full proof but also covers all the bases leaving nothing for exploitation from unscrupulous elements, including the near and dear ones. Let the debate start right now!

  1. I’m the owner of JustCBD Store company (justcbdstore.com) and I am currently trying to develop my wholesale side of company. It would be great if someone at targetdomain can help me ! I thought that the most suitable way to accomplish this would be to reach out to vape stores and cbd retail stores. I was hoping if anybody at all could recommend a dependable site where I can get CBD Shops B2B Data I am already reviewing creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Not sure which one would be the most ideal option and would appreciate any guidance on this. Or would it be easier for me to scrape my own leads? Ideas?
