I believe everyone knows that so-called euthanasia is to help patients who can no longer be cured and are in extreme pain end their lives by stopping treatment and using specific drugs so that they can leave the world without pain.

The word "euthanasia" actually comes from Greek, and its original meaning is "happy" death.

Specifically, it contains two levels of meaning: on the one hand, it refers to dying peacefully and without pain; on the other hand, it refers to the technology or method of causing death without pain.

Such an explanation may help people have a deeper understanding of the meaning and connotation behind the concept of euthanasia.

Of course, there is still widespread controversy and discussion internationally on whether euthanasia should be legalized and how to implement it.

Our country's definition of euthanasia is that for a patient with an incurable disease who is in critical condition and suffering extreme mental and physical pain, the patient's life process can be ended in a painless state by humane means, at the request of the patient and his relatives and friends and with the approval of a doctor.

Compared with the painless method of execution by injection, it achieves an astonishingly high degree of unity.

It should be emphasized that our country has not recognized euthanasia up to now. Implementing euthanasia will involve the crime of intentional homicide and will definitely be investigated by law enforcement agencies.

Death by injection is a legal method of execution in my country, and is the same type of death penalty as shooting.

The whole process only takes 30 seconds, and the patient can pass away without any pain. So why doesn't our country legalize "euthanasia"?

Both the theory and practice of euthanasia have a long history.

Plato favored suicide as a way to relieve incurable pain.

Many philosophers, scholars, and politicians, including Pythagoras, believed that it was morally appropriate and legal for people with incurable or terminal illnesses to implement voluntary euthanasia according to the patient's personal wishes.

There have been similar reports of euthanasia in other parts of the international community.

Although euthanasia has not yet been legalized in most countries, people are increasingly sympathetic to the practice of giving critically ill and incurable patients the right and freedom to die so that they can escape the cruel torture of illness, believing that this is in line with the spirit of humanitarianism.

Although many Western countries consider euthanasia a criminal act, the number of people supporting euthanasia is increasing.

After all, euthanasia involves ending the patient's life. Without clear legal provisions, this behavior can easily be equated with intentional homicide, thus causing legal disputes and ethical issues.

Under my country's current legal system, there is a lack of clear and specific regulations on key issues such as what is euthanasia, under what circumstances it can be implemented, who should implement it, and how to implement it.

This ambiguity not only increases the difficulty of law enforcement, but may also lead to abuse of power, just like the legal consequences of being "diagnosed as mentally ill."

Secondly, the right to life is the most basic right of citizens and is strictly protected by law.

Any form of deprivation of life must go through strict legal procedures and review.

Euthanasia involves the act of actively ending a patient's life, which potentially conflicts with the absolute nature of the right to life.

Once euthanasia is legalized, it may trigger a series of moral risks.

For example, family members may push patients to choose euthanasia due to financial pressure or other selfish considerations, and doctors may make inappropriate decisions due to misjudgment or external influences.

These risks are unacceptable under the current social moral and legal framework.

In traditional Chinese culture, the idea that "filial piety is the first of all virtues" is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

For patients with terminal illnesses, family members usually do their best to provide treatment to fulfill their filial piety.

The implementation of euthanasia may go against this traditional concept and thus be condemned by public opinion.

In addition, euthanasia remains a relatively sensitive and controversial topic in our country.

The public's acceptance of euthanasia is limited, which also restricts the possibility of its legalization in our country.

Due to the constraints of various factors such as law, ethics, and social culture, euthanasia has not yet been recognized as a legal act in our country, and cases in which euthanasia is held criminally responsible are common and frequently reported in the newspapers.
