| dc.description.abstract | Many nations throughout the world are debating and considering whether or not to
recognize the right to death as a fundamental human right. The debate over the legality
of the right to die has special significance in Sri Lanka, a country that is profoundly
entrenched in cultural values of compassion, empathy, and respect for human autonomy.
This qualitative research based on primary and secondary sources argues for and against
making the right to death a fundamental human right in Sri Lanka, with particular
emphasis on legal ramifications and countries where euthanasia, the right to die is
legalized and/or criminalized. Furthermore, this research provides recommendations
that need to be implemented in Sri Lanka and further discusses the right to die as
a fundamental human right. Hence, the study has provided an in-depth comparison
with the international arena of law on euthanasia and why voluntarily passive euthanasia
should be legalized in Sri Lanka. | en_US |
