Cognizant Inferred Meaning Quiz

Question 1

Time: 00:00:00

Passage The most recent case of euthanasia in India was that of a Mumbai couple who approached the courts to seek medical termination of a pregnancy after the legally permissible abortion time limit had been crossed. According to the parents, the foetus had been detected to have serious disabilities which would affect the quality of life of the child is born. The court denied them permission, giving its own logic underlining the unborn baby’s right to live despite disabilities. Fortunately or unfortunately, the issue was resolved in a different way when the mother suffered a miscarriage a little later and lost the baby. Globally, in a landmark case, a British teenage girl won the right to die the way she wants. Terminally ill Hanah Jones, just 13 years old, has spent much of the past eight years in hospital wards undergoing treatment for leukaemia. Euthanasia is complex because the issue is attached to ending life, voluntarily. Surprisingly, today it has been legalised only in a handful of countries. But here too and elsewhere the many forms of euthanasia have been taken into consideration.

1. The courts in India have the authority to sanction euthanasia.

2. The courts consider the age of the foetus before granting permission for an abortion.

3. It is fortunate that the Mumbai couple lost the baby.

4. The author is against legalising euthanasia.

5. The British courts allow anyone to die the way one wants.
