Euthanasia Debate: Healthy Woman's Mental Suffering vs. Comatose Man's Passive Euthanasia

• 29-year-old Zoraya ter Beek, a physically healthy woman in the Netherlands, was granted euthanasia in 2024 due to 'unbearable mental suffering'.
• This contrasts with 31-year-old Harish Rana from India, who received passive euthanasia after 13 years in a coma, following a Supreme Court ruling.
• Harish Rana's life support was gradually removed at AIIMS, leading to his peaceful passing after a long legal battle.
• The Netherlands has seen a rise in euthanasia cases based on mental illness, from 2 in 2010 to 138 in 2023, sparking debate.
• The cases highlight the global discussion on the 'right to life' versus the 'right to die' and differing euthanasia laws across countries.
