India's Supreme Court has ruled that in rare cases a terminally ill patient can be removed from life support.
That's a major shift in a country where such acts have long been illegal.
But it rejected a plea on Monday to stop feeding a woman who was brain damaged more than 30 years ago.
The request was for a 60-year-old former nurse who suffered massive brain injuries during a brutal sexual assault in 1973, leaving her unable to talk, move or eat on her own.
