A disease or affliction which cannot be cured but the sufferings are unbearable, the condition is termed as Terminal Illness. Very aged people also said to suffer this.
Naturally, the person affected by this TI will loose faith in his existence and will wish to die at the earliest by some means: either with medical assistance or self killing. But no law permits homicide and in fact, it punishes the patient and the person who assists for such self killing.
Strange are the ways of Laws !
But we don't let animals suffer, so why humans?
People with TI are in great pain and distress and they should have the right to end their lives.
Both terminally ill persons and those who help them to die , should be free from prosecution.
