Supreme Court hears a euthanasia application by the parents of a child:
Court: this is very very unfortunate. The boy seems to be in a pathetic condition. The bedsores are extremely painful. And when a patient in vegetative state suffers from bedsores means he’s not been looked after well. His hygiene is poor. Bedsores are the end of everything. Now we have waterbeds etc to prevent formation of bedsores. They are extremely painful. Doctors have said in so many words that there is no question of recovery. So he is to remain like this till he is destined to leave.
Court: how do we now move to the next stage?
Counsel: as per the judgement in common cause the next step to be followed by the reference of a secondary board formed by the CMO. But in this case the primary board already had 5 experts constituted by the CMO so it does not require the secondary board reference. The next step is to admit him to a neuro palliative facility where life support will be withdrawn.
Court: to pass over the secondary board reference they (members of the primary board) will need to have people with 5 years experience.
Counsel: yes. Your lordships can even have a committee of experts as per the judgement.
