hello friend, recently I heard that, supreme court has already given
verdict if there is no alternative solution rather than suffering
life long, better to choose murcyless killing.

Parents want mercy killing for 4 disabled sons
IANS 11 August 2009, 01:42pm IST
LUCKNOW: A farmer and his wife in Uttar Pradesh have sought
President Pratibha Patil's permission for the mercy killing of all
their four sons who
have turned into virtual vegetables.
The four, aged 10 to 16 years, have been afflicted by muscular
dystrophy, a genetic disease that has confined them to bed.
"My sons cannot stand on their feet. They are unable to move their
body below the neck. I see their distress every day. Now when
doctors too have lost hope, I want they should die. Death would be
the ultimate solution for their suffering," farmer Jeet Narayan of
Bashi village of Mirzapur district, some 300 km from Lucknow, has
said in his letter to Patil.
"My sons are in utter discomfort. I cannot see their helplessness
any more. So, we have written to the president that our sons be
killed through euthanasia," Narayan's wife Prabhavati said over telephone.
Narayan has told his neighbours that he has sold of all his
valuables to meet the medical expenses of his sons.
"Our financial resources have been exhausted. I even sold off the
parental land. Moreover, I owe nearly Rs 2 lakh to moneylenders," he said.
Prabhavati said muscular dystrophy afflicted her sons when they
were five years old. She identified them as Durgesh, 16, Sarvesh,
14, Brijesh, 11, and Suresh, 10. All four were normal children until then.
The couple now fears their four-year-old daughter may become
disabled when she turns five.
"Till now our daughter is doing fine but we are quite worried about
her. She might meet the same fate like her brothers after a year or
so," said Prabhavati.
