Harish Rana case: Why SC Justice Pardiwala quoted Shakespeare to let Ghaziabad engineering student die

The Supreme Court has permitted passive euthanasia for Harish Rana, a Ghaziabad student in a vegetative state for over 13 years. Doctors can now withdraw life-sustaining treatment. Medical reports indicated no recovery possibility. Justice Pardiwala referenced Shakespeare's 'To be or not to be' in the ruling. This marks the first full application of earlier euthanasia guidelines.
