Abstract
The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, on 9th March 2018 legalized Passive Euthanasia by means of the withdrawal of life-support to patients in a permanent vegetative state. The decision was made as part of the verdict in a case involving Aruna Shanbaug, who had been in a Persistent Vegetative State (PVS) until her death in 2015. On the other side, events seemingly inexplicable, outside the range of medical precedents, the Medical Miracles make a question mark on this legalization. A study was conducted taking the views of 96 MBBS students on it based on a questionnaire. There was mixed response from the students and the expectations of some miraculous outcome (in treatments) have been expressed that imposes a still persisting doubt in justified acceptability of legalization of Euthanasia in India.
