6.10.9.2. Passive Euthanasia
Means taking out the life support systems. It is allowed by SC to be done under guarded circumstances only.
In March, 2018, Supreme Court ruled that the right to die with dignity is a fundamental right, saying that an individual could make an advance "living will" that would authorize passive euthanasia under certain circumstances. The Court held that passive euthanasia and living will were legally valid.
