I think euthanasia should be allowed legally in India subject to certain clauses. First, the patient should be suffering from an extremely bad, rare, painful, or unconscious condition which is incurable. Second, at least three specialist hospitals should certify that the condition of the patient is irrevocable and that the patient cannot live (or return to) a normal life. It goes without saying that the doctors judging the health condition of the patient should have adequate experience and reputation. Third, the referred case should be studied by an executive committee constituted by experts from the Indian Medical Association, National Human Rights Commission, National Commission for Women, and at least one retired judge of the Supreme Court. The committee should consider aspects such as the patients age, family, social status, legal and financial commitments, and health condition, and recommend whether to grant euthanasia or not. All these should come under the union ministry of law and justice.
