legality
In a few countries including Belgium, Canada, Columbia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, mercy killing has been legalized. In this situation, a 49-year-old woman from New Delhi has filed a petition in the New Delhi High Court. Details: My friend from New Delhi is suffering from ‘myalgic encephalomyelitis’, a type of neurological disease.
For those suffering from this disease, problems such as severe fatigue, pain and stress are serious. They can’t even do their jobs. Since last 2014, my friend is suffering from this disease. Now, he is completely bedridden. He can only walk a couple of steps in the house.
application
He was undergoing treatment at AIIMS Hospital, New Delhi. After the spread of Corona, the treatment could not be continued. He has the financial means to seek treatment at home or abroad. In this case, he has decided to go to the European country of Switzerland and subject himself to mercy killing. He is adamant about it.
Claiming to go for treatment, he applied for a ‘Visa’. If he dies, the condition of his aged parents will become pitiable. Therefore, he should not be granted a visa to visit Switzerland. Also, the central government should be ordered to form a medical team to examine his physical condition and provide treatment.
