Event Summary

T. Harish Rao, the first person in India to be granted passive euthanasia by the India — Supreme Court of India, passed away on March 24, 2026, at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. He had been in a persistent vegetative state since 2013. The India — Supreme Court of India's landmark ruling earlier this month allowed the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment, setting a significant legal precedent for end-of-life care in India. The court also urged the India — India to enact comprehensive legislation on end-of-life care. T. Harish Rao's family donated his corneas and heart valves after his passing.
