Man in Agra seeks euthanasia for his children

Agra, June 02 (ANI): Parents wish for a long and prosperous life of their children. In a rare exception, a man in Agra wrote a letter to President Pranab Mukherjee seeking euthanasia for his six out of eight children suffering from a rare disease. The six children have been diagnosed with neurological disorder which has almost paralysed their lower bodies and affected their voice and vision. Although the disease is curable, the father of the children, who works at a sweet shop in the city, cannot afford the cost of the treatment. The father of eight, Nazir, said that all the kids were born healthy but as they grew up their bones started becoming weak. The children contracted the disease when they were five or six years old. While two out of six children are completely bed-ridden, the condition of other four is deteriorating rapidly. The mother of the children, Tabussam, said that they cannot see their children in such painful condition in their absence.
