Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This analytical research investigates the interaction of bioethics and legal frameworks in medical decision-making in India. It investigates how fundamental ethical concepts such as autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice interact with India's legal system, focusing on issues such as informed consent, medical negligence, end-of-life choices, and reproductive rights. The essay emphasizes the specific issues given by India's socio-cultural diversity, limited healthcare infrastructure, and commercialization of medical services. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of the Indian court in developing bioethical standards via landmark decisions. The research continues by underlining the need of a patient-centered, balanced approach that aligns ethical ideals with legislative regulations in order to promote a fair and compassionate healthcare system.
