The Supreme Court of India has recognized the right to die with dignity and made it easier for terminally ill patients to end treatment in 2023. The court has also ruled that the patients in a vegetative state have a right to palliative care until they die.

India is moving towards allowing passive euthanasia, or the withdrawal of life support, in certain circumstances.
 
Active euthanasia, which involves taking steps to end a patient's life, is still illegal in India. 

The Union Health Ministry has released a draft guidelines for passive euthanasia in September 2024. The guidelines  is  allowing patients to make informed decisions about life support and resuscitation. The guidelines are  also allowing for the withdrawal of supportive care like dialysis, ventilation, or ECMO in certain circumstances.
