India's Supreme Court has admitted a plea to end the life of a woman who has
been in a vegetative state since 1973.
Aruna Shanbaug, a nurse in Mumbai (Bombay), has been paralysed and considered
"brain-dead" since she was attacked by a rapist in November 1973.
The plea has been made by a journalist who has written a book on Ms Shanbaug.
The court will examine if the plea is "akin to euthanasia". It is being seen
as a landmark case in India where euthanasia or mercy killing is illegal.
The Supreme Court has sought a report on Ms Shanbaug's medical condition from
the hospital in Mumbai and the government of Maharashtra...
Aruna Shanbaug本身是印度孟買大型教學醫院(KEM Hospital)的一位護士
很聰明, 於十八歲那年違背家人的意願, 到孟買實現她的夢想當一位護士
她工作上人緣很好, 當時她有一位未婚夫, 是一位醫生, 而且他們也已訂婚(
當然不被她的家人所接受). 然而就在他們即將結婚的前夕(當時她25歲),
1973年11月27日, 當她下班要換回平常的衣服時, 一位清潔工(Sohanlal),
跟蹤他並強暴她, 還用狗鏈企圖勒死她.(ps.由於平常Aruna常常斥責他偷懶,
他懷恨在心)
Sohanlal被判刑七年入獄, 而Aruna則是如同植物人般的靜靜躺在病床上;
當他聽到男人聲音時, 他就會尖叫, 因為這是她再成為植物人狀態前最後的恐怖
記憶.她至今仍躺在KEM Hospital的同一張病床上整整36年, 如今他已61歲,
骨頭變形, 皮膚脆弱, 靠著護士餵食(而非用鼻餵管灌時)搗碎的食物(mashed food).
Aruna已被醫師診斷為brain-death, 而一位長期關注Aruna的記者及作家要求停止
繼續給Aruna強迫灌食(force feeding), 過著接近非人的日子(subhuman).
這故事最近在印度引起許多爭議及討論, 因為印度目前安樂死(mercy killing;
euthanasia)是不合法的....而目前印度法院也在審理此案...
