Aruna Shanbaug. A Case Study in Compassion, Dignity, and the Ethics of Euthanasia
No full textThe case of Aruna Shanbaug is a landmark case in Indian jurisprudence that significantly influenced the debate surrounding the right to die with dignity. Aruna Shanbaug, was a nurse at King Edward Memorial Hospital, left in a persistent vegetative state for 42 years following a brutal assault. This prolonged condition raised complex ethical, moral, and legal questions regarding whether individuals in irreversible conditions should be allowed to die through unnatural means. In 2009, Social activist Pinki Virani filed a petition in the Andhra Pradesh High Court, seeking permission for euthanasia, arguing that Shanbaug\u27s condition was unlikely to improve and that she was suffering unnecessarily. The petition was later brought before the Supreme Court of India in 2011. While the Court rejected the plea for active euthanasia, it acknowledged the legality of passive euthanasia, provided that strict conditions should be fulfilled, including the approval of a medical board. This ruling marked a crucial development in the recognition of passive euthanasia in India, paving the way for future legal reforms. The case continues to influence discussions on human rights, medical ethics, and personal autonomy in the context of Indian healthcare law. The objective of this paper is to analyze the ethical, moral, and legal implications of the Aruna Shanbaug case in the context of euthanasia laws in India. It aims to explore how the case influenced the recognition of passive euthanasia and shaped subsequent legal reforms in the country
