K'taka Implements Patient's Right to Die with Dignity
The New Indian Express Bhubaneswar
|February 01, 2025
THE Karnataka government has issued an order to implement the Supreme Court's directive for a patient's right to die with dignity by withdrawing or withholding life-sustaining treatment.
This is for patients on long-term treatment with no hope of improvement, or for those in a vegetative state, where medical treatment would only harm them.
Karnataka is the second state after Kerala to implement this ruling. The state government has also come out with an Advanced Medical Directive (AMD) or a living will, in which a patient can record his/her wish regarding medical treatment in future.
