00:00What is euthanasia for humans? Should it be made legal in India?
00:04Euthanasia has to be distinct from suicide.
00:08It is a thing of realizing that the time has come and the body is not going to hold up.
00:14The probability of recovery is just too slim.
00:17Therefore, it does not make sense to just drag on.
00:20And when medical experts can certify that the probability of revival
00:25or some kind of normal functioning life is less than, let's say, 1%,
00:31then the fellow must have the choice to opt out of life.
00:35I suppose it's dignified to go rather than just overstay your utility, your joy.
00:42No point, just hanging on.
00:44Live a great life, live deeply, have challenges, have purposes, fulfill them.
00:49And then depart with honor, depart with dignity, depart as a matter of choice,
00:53not as a matter of chance or compulsion.
