>Thalaikoothal (Tamil: தலைக்கூத்தல், lit.'showering')[needs Tamil IPA] is the traditional practice of senicide (killing of the elderly) or involuntary euthanasia, by their own family members, observed in some parts of southern districts of Tamil Nadu state of India.
>Though thalaikoothal is illegal in India,[4] the practice has long received covert social acceptance as a form of mercy killing, and people rarely complain to the police.[5] In some cases, the family informs their relatives before performing thalaikoothal,[6] and occasionally the victims even request it.[3] However, social acceptance may lead to more egregious abuses: the issue gained a higher profile in early 2010, when an 80-year-old man escaped after discovering his intended fate and heard his family members discussing how they were going to "share" his lands, and took refuge in a relative's home.[5]
