Which of the following is not a patient’s right ?
Answer: B
The one that is not a patient's right is the right to euthanasia.
Recognised patients' rights include equal access to treatment without discrimination, the right to seek a second opinion, and the right to give (or refuse) informed consent after being told the nature, risks and alternatives of a treatment.
When this paper was set, Indian law recognised no right to euthanasia. In Aruna Shanbaug v. Union of India (2011) the Supreme Court allowed only passive euthanasia, by withdrawal of life support, and only with High Court approval, while active euthanasia remained a crime. That makes euthanasia the option outside the accepted list of rights.
