India legalizes 'living wills' but few know about them
India's Supreme Court allows passive euthanasia, but most citizens remain unaware of 'living wills' or the right to palliative care for terminal illness, leaving many families in deadlock. Despite legal recognition since 2018, complex procedures, scarce clinics, and widespread ignorance mean the right exists mostly on paper, forcing desperate families to seek court orders for end-of-life decisions.
