We thank the authors, Shah and Tiwari, for their evocative paper on passive euthanasia within the Indian healthcare setup.[1] The paper contributes to the larger discourse on the ethical dilemma of the right to die with human dignity. It highlights the need to initiate a dialogue within the Indian healthcare system regarding the introduction of communication skills for physicians and the practice of seeking healthy (and legal) consent when providing a diagnosis to the patient and their caregivers. This grants them the agency to actively participate in determining the quality of both their life and death.
