The law of euthanasia

Japan, Switzerland and other countries, as well as some states in the United States, have passed euthanasia laws. The first international conference on euthanasia was held in Tokyo, Japan from 65438 to 0976. Euthanasia is a complex issue, involving morality, ethics, law, medicine and many other aspects. So far, China has not legislated for this.

Jurisprudence: citizens have the right to choose the way of death.

Xu Jinghe, a doctor of law in Peking University, believes that the constitution stipulates that citizens' personal freedom and personal dignity are inviolable, which has a specific meaning. Individual citizens have the right to choose the way to live and the way to die under certain conditions. Euthanasia is a special way to punish life under special circumstances without violating the interests of the country, society and others. This kind of punishment has strict conditions and procedures. At present, euthanasia legislation in some European countries is a choice between traditional morality and modern law. Therefore, euthanasia is unconstitutional and lacks basic elements.

If you really want to die, I think everyone will choose euthanasia. I choose euthanasia, hehe!
