In the case of Thailand, the subject of euthanasia has been discussed outside the academic circle because the media exposed how such a practice has been gaining current with alarming frequency. This has recently led to the introduction of a draft Act on Public Health addressing this issue for the first time. Under the current law, doctors caught practicing euthanasia will be subject to charges of murder and civil liabilities. Having said that, law and regulations relating to this subject remains quite nascent; many lacunae in the legal framework still need to be filled and more public forums to be organized and heard.
