Supreme Court Allows Passive Euthanasia | Right to Die with Dignity Explained

The Supreme Court of India has allowed passive euthanasia in the Harish Rana case, reinforcing the constitutional principle of the “Right to Die with Dignity” under Article 21. The legal foundation of euthanasia in India evolved through key Supreme Court judgments: Aruna Shanbaug Case (2011) – Passive euthanasia permitted for the first time. Common Cause Case (2018) – Recognised the right to die with dignity as part of Article 21 and legalised Living Wills / Advance Directives. 2023 Clarification – Simplified procedures for implementing living wills. The Harish Rana ruling now operationalises these guidelines in a real case, providing greater clarity for patients, families, and doctors in end-of-life care decisions.
