Indore Teacher Seeks Euthanasia to End Years of Suffering

A teacher named Kumari Chandrakanta Jethani, who uses a wheelchair because she is paralyzed, has asked the President of India to let her end her life.

She works at a school in Indore and has a lot of pain.

She wants to die peacefully because of her suffering.

Euthanasia, which is when a doctor helps someone die, is a tricky subject in India.

The government needs to decide if they will allow her request.

This case brings up questions about how people with disabilities are helped and supported.
