Euthanasia in India, Canada, Netherlands, and Sweden with a Special Emphasis on Canada

Abstract

In the aftermath of modernization and globalization, when the world witnesses significant protests to protect inherent human rights in practically every developing and established country, the words 'Individual Autonomy' take precedence over the outdated moral beliefs that govern societies and mind-sets where the domain of the right to die is one such example. With the question of Ethics as the centroid the universe is divided into two supporters of opposing beliefs while putting euthanasia as a motion for debate. Regardless of whether euthanasia is legal or not, proponents of an ideology that the right to die contradicts the essence and sanctity of the right to life prevails and considering as justifying assisted suicide, active and passive euthanasia. People on the other hand, seek a dignified right to die by emphasizing the importance of 'will/autonomy' or' meaningful human existence,' and linking it to the concept of 'Right to personal liberty.'
