The will to die Euthanasia means killing a person or animal to prevent incurable

physical suffering or suffering due to disease

Withdrawal of life support must come with robust safeguards.

life under Article 21 of the Constitution, which according to an

earlier verdict does not include the right to die

Passive euthanasia already a law.

Passive euthanasia, the act of withdrawing life support to a terminally-ill

patient, is already the law of the land

The government said it was finalising a draft law on passive euthanasia

called 'The Management of Patients With Terminal Illness –

Withdrawal of Medical Life Support Bill'

Centre, however, objected to legalising the concept of ‗Living Will‘ — an

advance written directive to physicians for end-of-life medical care.

It pointed out that this may lead to the abuse and neglect of the elderly,

especially if they were financially well-off.

comprehensive guidelines on operationalising the idea of living wills.

A person‘s advance order to withdraw medicare to allow him to die with dignity should take effect after medical board nod‘



What is a 'Living Will‘

A living will – also known as an advance directive – is a legal document that

specifies the type of medical care that an individual does or does not want in the

event that he is unable to communicate his wishes.

The Chief Justice, heading a five-judge Constitution Bench, was responding to a

debate on when exactly a person‘s ―living will‖ or advance directive for end-of-life

medical care should take effect

In the case of an unconscious person who suffers from a terminal illness or a life-

threatening injury, doctors and hospitals consult his living will to determine whether

or not the patient wants life-sustaining treatment, such as assisted breathing or tube

feeding.

In the absence of a living will, decisions about medical care become the

responsibility of the spouse, family members or other third parties.

Behaviour-informed approach to policy-making

recognises that there are two systems of thinking.

1)-Thinking automatically and

2)- Thinking analytically and deliberatively.

Long-term health implications for local

populations from underground nuclear detonations

have also been a growing concern.

ICJ- compensation for exposure to contamination

These developments may not immediate ratification.

But they raise the prospect that governments will be

forced to heed public sentiment sooner than later.

The ICAN‘s endeavours(प्रयास ों) may pay off•eventually.


Accountability, not armour(कवच) plating We need a debate on police reforms

Union Cabinet approving a ₹25,000 crore upgrading the internal security apparatus in States.

An umbrella scheme, ‗Modernisation of Police Forces‘, has been cleared, with the government

projecting this as ―one of the biggest moves towards police modernisation in India”.

Centre‘s contribution of about 75% - Next three years, with the Centre contributing ₹18,636 crore

and States₹6,424 crore along the lines of the established police ―modernisation‖ model.

1)-Police transport,

2)-Weaponry,

3)-Communications, and

4)-Forensic support-(scientific methods and techniques to the investigation of crime.)

Under the scheme- Receive special focus.

o 1)-Jammu and Kashmir,

o 2)-Northeastern States and

o 3)-Those affected by Maoist violence



Reference to Naxalism, the annual report of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), 2016-17

notes that there has been a reduction in violent incidents and violence-related deaths since 2013.

Alarmingly, there has been a 50% increase in encounters, a 122% increase in the ―elimination‖

of armed Maoist cadres, and a larger number of arrests and arms recoveries.

It is important to point out that a Central paramilitary force, not the State police, is at the forefront

against Naxal groups.

With the new funds, some may argue that the police need this ‗upgrading‘ in order to gradually phase

out the reliance on the paramilitary.

Tracking funds

The police reform to aspire for is to move beyond armour plating to accountability and

the upholding of the law as measures of police effectiveness.
