SC to rule on whether man can die with dignity
India
The Supreme Court is about to rule on whether Harish Rana's family can end his life support.
Rana has been in a permanent vegetative state since a 2013 accident, and his family has fought for years to let him go peacefully.
This could be the first time India's "right to die with dignity" law is actually put into practice.
Case could set precedent for future passive euthanasia cases
Rana's case isn't just personal: it could shape how India handles passive euthanasia for others in similar situations.
Medical boards called his condition "pathetic," and the Centre, through Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, said doctors thought continuation of treatment was not in his best interest and that 'nature should be allowed to take its course.'
