摘要
调查发现，该区1993年死亡病例中主动安乐死发生概率为1．0％（0～2．1％），病人其他生命本期医学决策为：不治疗11．6％，减痛治疗9．9％，“情感”治疗182％，积极抢救573％；21％病人临终前有求死欲望，其中56．7％有过自杀行为，近一半的人自杀成功；摆脱疾病所致难以忍受的痛苦是其求死的主要目的。本研究揭示，在安乐死尚未合法化的我国大城市中，安乐死正以1．0％左右的发生概率在悄然进行着。
According to 302 responses on euthanasia, at the terminal stage of life, 3 (1.0% ) of the patients died of active euthanasia, 35 (11. 6 % ) of nontreatment, 55 (18. 2% )were adminstered only by general infusion (such as N. S. , glucose, antibiotic, etc. ), 30(9. 9% ) by high doses of analgesic in order to alleviate pain and symptoms. 173 (57. 3%)were treated actively till death. 63 (20. 9%) of the patients requested to euthanasia, 34 (56. 7% ) among them tired suicide, 16 (47.1 % ) died of suicide. The main reason for the re quest to euthanasia committing is avoiding sufferings.The results suggest that not only passive euthanasia but also active euthanasia be practised in the urban area, though active euthanasia is not legal in China.
