Euthanasia i.e. honour killing is one issue prevailing in the society. For those who dont know let me tell you what it is. Honour killing is a provision which can be implemented in which a patient mostly in coma is allowed to be given death by removing the support system in the hospital. Its such a sensitive issue that people are scared to talk about it. In many cases, its seen that the patient suffering since a long time and along with them their relatives, family and loved ones are suffering too by paying unending hospital and medical bills with no improvement whatsoever. In many cases, after a long time a person does comes out of coma, so the question is "Should Euthanasia be allowed and made as a law?" In India the land of billion people wherein many times patient doesnt get hospital bed for their treatment. May be by allowing it, hospital bed availability will increase to some extent. In many countries, its made legal. Kindly share your views about it with me.

This is a sensitive topic to be honest. Mercy killing is what it is known to us here. But I think it is not the answer to having more hospital bed availability because Euthanasia is to somehow end the suffering of the person with the consent of the family and it is not accommodate others because many are in need of be. Many cannot afford to go to the hospital that dying outside is more of an option.

May be. Dieing isnt an option for anyone dear. In India there is one section of people who are very poor, they cant afford the hospital fees so they get their place in surrounding premises of hospital. Its your view and respect it.

Euthanasia is not allowed in India in any case as of now. But I think it should be legalized under some conditions. It's not about the availablilty of bed and money but the pain some patients go through.

I would not call that euthanasia. Now there are so many ways to keep a person "alive" that people who have no brain could live for years. And there are beds and resources that should be used in people who can get well.
