Abstract
In India, the sanctity of life has been placed on highest pedestal. From the moment of his birth, a person is clothed with basic human rights. Article 21 of the Indian Constitution provides for Right to Life which is one of the basic and most sacrosanct right. This right has received the widest possible interpretation at the hands of judiciary so as to make the human existence a dignified one. With the pronouncement of judgment by the Apex Court of India in Aruna Shaunbaugh’s case on March 7, 2011, a new debate has started in the country regarding the legalization of euthanasia in India. Euthanasia is one of the most debated and controversial topics in the world. Euthanasia , basically, is bringing about the death of a terminally ill patient or a person who is in persistent vegetative state so that his life which is merely a namesake can be peacefully end up. Thus, the basic intention behind euthanasia is to ensure a less painful death to a person who is in any case going to die after a long period of suffering.
