Legalise it: Right to die! Euthanasia!


The Supreme Court of India has admitted a petition to end the life of Aruna Shanbaug, who was a nurse in Mumbai, paralysed and considered ‘brain-dead’ ever since she was attacked and raped in November 1973.
The plea has been made by a journalist who has written a book on Ms Shanbaug.

The court will examine if the plea is "akin to euthanasia". It is being seen as a landmark case in India where euthanasia or mercy killing is illegal.

So why not legalise it. Why force somebody to live, when he or she really would instead prefer death? Netherlands, where it is legal.

It is sheer hypocrisy, when she was well and good, the SYSTEM could not give her security, save her dignity....her assailant Sohanlal Barth Valmiki, a ward boy, got away with just seven years for attempted murder and for robbing Aruna's earrings..ha!! wat justice..he belived to be working in a Delhi hospital.

I stand for dignity..in life and in death too....why deny it?

  1. Bhai,
    Kanoon andha hota hai...not only in India but all around the world. Recently here where I'm, a highly influential person who was shot on video, murdering another man, was acquitted, and the person who shot the video is charged of serving lethal drugs to the assailant, who under the influence of drugs killed the other man....justice prevails.....but in the favor of rich, strong and influential!!!
