Compassionate Death
With the new relaxation on terms for Living Will/ Advance Medical Directives by the Supreme Court in its Jan 24, 2023 order the procedure has been simplified. Once a person starts losing Memory and has come to a vegetative stage, there is no way that he/she can convey a decision to terminate his/her life. Then it comes under the purview of euthanasia (Also known as Mercy Killing). The procedure and rules are already in force and can be completed subject to the time limitations and constraints laid down by the Supreme Court.
Under the procedure, an adult under normal health can make a Will regarding one’s own choice of advance decision to terminate his/her own life under strict conditions to be followed by an authorized person, such a Will can be issued and filed with the custodian.
This simple method is unique and helps one to convey one’s decision to the consulting physician, who shall arrange for executing a Living Will. It calls for an executor to issue a directive to an authorised person through a relatives or a friend and approved by the Doctor then process of Living Will is completed. Detailed but simple procedures are available from the website – www.dignityindeath.in or our office.
Several millions of senior citizens slowly drift in to vegetative stage. In the case of accident leading to a similar patient condition, the same procedure could apply. The process of prolonged medical treatment and resultant colossal cost make it impossible to continue the therapy. Living Will comes into use here.
