Euthanasia controversy in China: do we have the right to die?

Abstrak

This research examines the contentious issue of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide in the context of China's unique conditions. Historically, the debate over euthanasia has been influenced by moral philosophy and ethics, and euthanasia is illegal in China at present. The research explores the difficulty in making euthanasia legalized across five key dimensions: financial, medical, social, legal, and psychological factors. We conclude that while there is a desire among some terminally ill patients for euthanasia, the current situation in China makes it unsuitable for legalization. The profound question of one's right to die remains a significant moral and judicial challenge, indicating the need for continued dialogue and nuanced understanding of this complex issue.
