Is it truly kind to keep someone alive? In certain scenarios, does this act lead to extended suffering—not just for the patient but also for their family and caretakers? In an era where technology can sustain bodily functions long after all hope has vanished, the pressing question shifts from whether we can save a life to whether we should prolong suffering.

Few questions press upon the conscience of law as insistently as euthanasia — the deliberate termination of a human life to relieve intractable suffering. As medicine grows ever more adept at prolonging biological existence beyond any prospect of meaningful recovery, the law confronts an acute paradox: whether the right to live must also encompass a right to die.

Imagine waking up one day and having to leave your friends, your school, and your home behind because staying could put your life in danger. This is the harsh reality for millions of people around the world known as refugees. Refugees are people who have to flee their home country because of war, violence, persecution, or serious threats to their safety.

Globalization, the “acceleration and intensification of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments of different nations,” has turned the 21st century world into a Global Village. While globalization holds much promise for cultural exchange and mutual learning, it has at the same time created deep ethical dilemmas about cultural dominance and the potential annihilation of local identities.

On March 11, 2026, the Supreme Court of India permitted the withdrawal of life-support from Harish Rana — a man who had remained in a persistent vegetative state for over a decade. The order is being widely described as the first judicially-authorised instance under the modern living-will / passive-euthanasia framework and has reignited national conversations on dignity, medical ethics, and law.

Refugees often face uncertain and unequal treatment in many countries, including India, because there is no clear legal framework defining their rights or status. Without proper laws, refugees are left vulnerable to arbitrary government actions and lack access to basic protections and justice.
