安乐死是随着现代医学的发展而产生的。现代医学能有限地延长濒死病人的生命,但不能解除病人的痛苦。绝症患者本人或其监护人申请安乐死是一种无可厚非的行为,应该得到社会及政府的理解和同情。由于法律所固有的特点,我们不能通过立法来处理安乐死问题。我们应该将安乐死交给社会道德来评判,只要道德认可,法律就允许安乐死的实施;道德不认可,法律亦不认可。
Euthanasia has evolved with the development of modern medicine. Modern medicine can extend the lives of dying patients to a limited extent, but can not relieve the suffering of patients. Application for euthanasia by terminally ill patients or their guardians is a formidable act that deserves the understanding and sympathy of the society and the government. Due to the inherent characteristics of the law, we can not legislate to deal with the issue of euthanasia. We should judge euthanasia by social morality. As long as moral recognition is given, the law allows the implementation of euthanasia; morality is not recognized and the law does not endorse it.
