摘要
安乐死是一种优化的死亡状态,其本质是保证死亡的质量,而不是决定人的生与死。实行安乐死符合现代人道主义,是对患者的尊重,并不影响现代医学的发展,不是对社会责任的否认,具有现代社会价值。在讨论安乐死时应该注意理性与情感关系问题。选择安乐死不是一种义务,提倡安乐死不是轻视生命。安乐死合法化是一件十分复杂而慎重的事情。
This article first analyses traditional ethics that hold a negative attitude towards mercy killing, and then, based on modern ethics, points out its humanitarian nature. Also the article makes an approach to the social problems of putting mercy killing into effect. It is under no obligation to choose mercy killing and doing so doesn抰 mean looking down on lives.
