Legal position
Both active euthanasia and assisted suicide are
illegal under English law.
Depending on the circumstances, euthanasia is
regarded as either manslaughter or murder and is
punishable by law, with a maximum penalty of up
to life imprisonment.
Assisted suicide is illegal under the terms of the
Suicide Act (1961) and is punishable by up to 14
years' imprisonment. Attempting to kill yourself is
not a criminal act in itself.
Types of euthanasia
Other countries

Under the laws in these countries, a persons life can be deliberately ended by
their doctor or other healthcare professional.
ofmedical treatment. Because of this, many view euthanasia as simply bringing relief by
alleviating pain and suffering.

The Supreme Court invitation on euthanasia debate is a welcome beginning for the
right to die. In 10 or 20 years time the right to die should be a fundamental right for all
senior citizens of evolved societies of the world. A few thousand years ago senior
citizens over the age of 60 would go willfully to Vanprastha in India. Vanaprastha
( going into the forests) those days was considered as getting away from family life and
the rest of civilized world for good, the sophisticated way of giving a social sanction for
the right to die in a age when wild animals ruled the forests. It was an evolved society
those days which permitted the aged to die with dignity, after their active life was over.
It was meant for the common citizen and not only those who were blessed by the
powers of Ichha mrityu ( the right to choose ones time of death) like Vishma Pitamaha
and we must realize that this permission was for all aged citizens and not only those
who were permanently disabled or critically ill, as is being considered currently for
euthanasia.
The Supreme Courts decision to throw open euthanasia for debate needs to be
extended to a debate on the right to die after the age of sixty. Let us understand few
fundamental economic and social reasons other than empathy on why it is needed to
protect the elderly from an ignominious slow and painful existence leading to death.
The first and foremost reason is overpopulation that is leading to over consumption
and depletion of global resources. Almost a quarter of the global population is nearing
sixty. A right to die for those aged above sixty would improve the ratio of productive
people in the world. Only those who contribute to the society would be likely
consumers and those who have no active life could chose repeat chose a life of eternal
rest.
Especially in a unbridled democracy like India where the young and educated are still
mindlessly opting for two or three children and the uneducated for more, we run a
serious problem of too many mouths to support. In another twenty years time we
could race past China to be the most populous nation and still be growing faster than
we can think. Something must give away, and what better way than the aged to show
the way by choice. True there will be doubts raised wether the old have given way
willfully or have been coerced into such situations, but humans can always devise other
laws to protect malpractices.
The second is the economic woes and deteriorating health of the elderly.
Understanding this is no rocket science As your age increases beyond 60 your earning
capacity decreases and medical costs rise. Wether this is paid by your domestic savings
or funded by the state health insurance is immaterial. You become a cost centre
instead of a revenue generating asset. Soon as you become a cost centre the attitude of
those around you changes for the worse, which though not laudable is the harsh reality.
The rise of the old age homes around the world is the biggest pointer that there is no
happy family for the aged, no realtime civil society but only a commercial one in every
place in this earth, especially in the more educated and developed nations. Conducting
any referendum or opinion poll in any old age home would bring out startling results
and point to the dark underbelly of the human society.
I do not mean to say that human life should cease to exist after the productive cycle
and after contributing to humanity. Anybody could retire and enjoy life as they want to
for endless years.
However when life ceases to be an enjoyment and our faculties keep failing and we are
no longer in control of what we do, or how we want to live we should be allowed to die.
Life is too beautiful to spoil it with the pain of a slow, painful, ignominious death. Let us
understand that Howard Hughes one of the worlds richest men died in insecurity and
pain, as did Michael Jackson the worlds most famous rock star. Permit us too die,
gracefully before insecurity and fear grips our minds of how we would live in the days
ahead, and we the aging majority of the planet earth must be allowed to chose our time
and when to go.

as Bhishma, the supernatural power of Svecchamrityu.[2] Mahabharata records that Bhishma did
choose the time and manner of his own death.[3]
In the course of his visit to Amarnath cave, Swami Vivekananda had the vision of Lord Shiva in
the cave and was blessed with the boon of death-at-will (iccha-mrityu). [4] He had predicted that he
would not live forty years, he did not. Mahatma Sisir Kumar and Pandit Dinabandhu
Vedantaratna are also believed to have willed their own death. [5]
The Svadhishthana Chakra is the Abode of the Tattva Apas; one conquers death with the
awakening of this chakra.[6] As one of the twenty-six siddhis that form part of Kundalini yoga,
Iccha-mrityu siddhi gives the yogi the power to die at will. [7] According toAurobindo the sadhaka
of Integral yoga aims at complete liberation from all attacks of illness, and the power to prolong
life at will Iccha-mrityu.[8]
In Hindu astrology, the Iccha-mrityu yoga is caused if Saturn situated in the 12th house from
the lagna is aspected by powerfulJupiter occupying the 4th house.[9] The methodical recitation
of Rishi Markandeyas Yajurveda Mahamrityunjaya Mantra consisting of thirty-three syllables:In Devanagari script:
is recommended for warding-off the evil and/or death-inflicting effects of planets, and
to prolong ones life-span.[10]
