Abstract: Life and death are inseparable. It is the law of nature. Thus, every human being wishes to live and enjoy the fruits of life till he dies. But sometimes, human beings end one’s life by the use of unnatural means. When one’s ends his life by his own act we call it “Suicide” but if on his request some others person end up his life then it is called “euthanasia”. The concept of euthanasia is one of the spark heated debate and it is based on the philosophy of humanism and compassion. The principle of euthanasia recognizes self-determination of an individual freedom of choice to live or to die with dignity. This paper seeks to throw light on the current legal status of euthanasia in India.
