Right to Die with Dignity:
Karnataka allowed the setting up medical boards in hospitals to facilitate requests for dignified deaths.It has been done as per Supreme Court verdict in the Common Cause vs. Union of India Case, 2018 that upheld legal validity of passive euthanasia.
Passive euthanasia involves withholding or stopping life-sustaining treatments, letting a person die naturally from their condition.The Supreme Court’s 2023 order affirms the right to die with dignity under Article 21 and eases norms for passive euthanasia.
