概念、历程和立法综述——关于“安乐死”的争论之一

Summarization of Concept,Process and Legislation——One of Argumentations on Euthanasia

“安乐死”的争论已形成了历史,争论的问题是一系列的,如:“安乐死”的对象与标准的争论、伦理争论、法理争论等。“安乐死”的定义众说纷纭,“安乐死”的历史久远,现实的争论激烈,未来的争论还将继续,由于人类社会的文明与进步,持续不断的争鸣和人类理性的觉醒,使我们有充分的理由确信,对“安乐死”态度的差异会逐渐缩小而走向趋同,人类文明的脚步一定会在激烈的争论中向前迈进。

The argument on euthanasia has a very long history. And there are a series of questions that people have been arguing about, such as, argumentation on the target and standard of euthanasia, on ethics and jurisprudence. Opinions on the definition of euthanasia vary; the history of euthanasia is long; the present argumentation on it is heated; the future argumentation on it will continue. With the progress of civilization and continuous appearances of new discoveries and the awakening of human rational knowledge, we are convinced that the differences among the attitudes towards euthanasia will progressively be reduced and finally become same. The steps of human civilization will surely keep moving ahead on the basis of those arguments.
