If these type of mercy killing is permitted, that will be made as ratio decidendi

N.K.Assumi (Advocate)     11 March 2011

The expression Mercy Killing itself is contradictory. The Highest Mercy is to Preserve Life not to take away life.

PRAVEEN CHOUDHARY (SERVICE)     11 March 2011

MEDICAL TERMINATION OF PREGANACY IS ONLY PERMITTED FOR 4 GROUNDS. BASICALLY, THE INTENTION OF THIS ACT IS THAT THE TERMINATION OF PRENANCY FOR THE PROTECTION OF LIFE OF PREGANANT WOMEN BY REGISTERED MEDICAL PRACTITIONER ONLY OR THE PROTECTION OF REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS OF PREGNANT WOMEN ALSO.  IF EUTHANSIA IS PERMITTED THAN IT IS COMLETELY VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 21 BECAUSE TAKING OF LIFE PERMITTED ONLY BY PROCEDURE ESTABLISHED BY LAW.  MEDICAL TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY IS NOT VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 21.  WORD "ABORTION" IS NO USED IN MTP ACT 1971. MTP ACT USED THE WORD TERMINATION. MTP ACT PROVIDING LIMITATION OF TERMINATION ONLY UPTO 5 MONTHS. IF PREGANANCY EXCEEDS 5 MONTHS THAN MTP ACT IS NOT APPLICABLE.
