On January 30th, 2025, Karnataka became the second state after Kerala to implement the Supreme Court ruling allowing passive euthanasia—marking the end of a 24-year-old legal battle. At the heart of this is 85-year-old HB Karibasamma, a retired teacher who spent two decades fighting for the right to die with dignity. But in India, the debate is far from over. Do individuals have the right to choose death? How do we ensure consent? And what are the risks of misuse?
From Aruna Shanbaug’s case to the 2025 Karnataka ruling, India’s stance on euthanasia is evolving—but legal and moral tensions remain.
