Shamim is a surgeon. Her 35-year-old patient Zul, had been diagnosed with a late-stage tumour in the parotid gland. The diagnosis was a long time coming, as his complaints of ear and jaw pain at first did not lead to any imaging results that showed the tumor. At the time of the diagnosis, he was told that he had a high-risk tumour that was quite advanced. Zul had a surgery and radiation therapy but the pain did not go away; instead, itchanged in character to a neuropathic-type pain. Radiotherapy and surgery left him with a verydry mouth and the pain was ongoing despite trials of multiple medications. Even when he was started on very low doses, Zul experienced multiple side effects from opioids and antidepressants, often discontinuing them after only a short trial. None of the pain medications gave him any relief. Shamim tried everything she could, but it did not help Zul. Zul frequently talks to Shamim and his nurses about wantingto die. Zul's mother asks Shamim to euthanize her son as she has no courage to watch his son suffers. On the other hand, Zul's wife, Amisha, disagrees to that request. She said that the pain is like a punishmentfrom Allah as she knows about her husband's dark secret. She informs Shamim that her husband had raped a girl and the girl was pregnant with his baby. He refused to be responsible to what he did. After the girl delivered the baby, Zul buried the baby alive at a nearby forest reserve. Outraged by what Zul had done, Shamim carries out Zul's wish to hasten his death. But Amisha decides to sue Shamim as it is clear that a doctor who aids a patient in this act will be in breach of his unequivocal duty as a doctor and considered to have committed a criminal offence.
