PATNA, APRIL 9. A man has renewed his plea for mercy killing of his wife, now said to be in a coma for over five years, in the wake of the Terri Shiavo case in Florida, United States. Tarkeshwar Chandravanshi's wife, Kanchan Devi, lapsed into a coma during childbirth in 2000. He claimed that the doctors of the Patna Medical College Hospital had declared she was "incurable" and that he was pained to see her in a comatose condition. In a petition, he urged the Governor, Buta Singh, to amend the law by promulgating an ordinance and allow for mercy killing of those in a coma for over six years. In a petition before the Patna High Court, he pleaded that it review its order of 2001 when it rejected a petition saying that Kanchan Devi was alive and that she had not filed the petition herself.
