据我了解，安乐死是指对无法救治的病人停止治疗或使用药物，让病人无痛苦地死去。
一个“或”字又把安乐死分为两种：
1、对无法救治的病人停止治疗，让病人死去；
2、对无法救治的病人停止治疗并使用药物，让病人死去。
如果是这样的定义，对于安乐死，不是简单的说赞成还是反对。因为一些人同意1反对2，一些人两种都同意，一些人两种都反对。

安乐死Euthanasia，有“好的死亡”或者“无痛苦的死亡”的含意，是一种给予患有不治之症的人以无痛楚、或更严谨而言“尽其量减小痛楚地”致死的行为或措施，一般用于在个别患者出现了无法医治的长期显性病症，因病情到了晚期或不治之症，对病人造成极大的负担，不愿再受病痛折磨而采取的了结生命的措施，经过医生和病人双方同意后进行，为减轻痛苦而进行的提前死亡。
目前医学界对“安乐死”无统一的定义，不过在操作层面，主要可分为：
主动安乐死（Active Euthanasia）：主动为病人结束生命（例如透过注射方式）；
被动安乐死（Passive Euthanasia）：被动安乐死是停止疗程（例如除去病人的维生系统或让病人停止服药），使其自然死亡。
加拿大司法制度规定的安乐死内容如下：
Legislation on euthanasia in Canada distinguishes between passive euthanasia (withholding or withdrawing of life-preserving procedures) and active euthanasia (intentionally killing a person to relieve pain). Whereas passive euthanasia is legal in Canada, active euthanasia is clearly illegal and amount to murder.
Suicide is not a crime in Canada and hasn't been since 1972, but physician-assisted suicide is illegal.
The Criminal Code of Canada states in section 241（b) that：
“Every one who ….(b) aids or abets a person to commit suicide, whether suicide ensues or not, is guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years”
However, on Friday, June 15, 2012, the Supreme Court of British Columbia struck down these sections on constitutional grounds as they apply to severely disabled patients capable of giving assent: "the impugned provisions unjustifiably infringe s. 7 [and s. 15 ] of the Charter, and are of no force and effect to the extent that they prohibit physician-assisted suicide by a medical practitioner in the context of a physician-patient relationship". Moreover, the court found that the relevant sections were legislatively overbroad, had a disproportionate effect on people with disabilities, and were "grossly disproportionate to the objectives it is meant to accomplish."
The Minister of Justice and Attorney General has appealed the last decision considering that laws that prohibit and punish euthanasia and assisted suicide are constitutionally valid and exist to protect all Canadian people, "including those who are most vulnerable, such as people who are sick or elderly or people with disabilities." He also added: "The Supreme Court of Canada acknowledged the state interest in protecting human life and upheld the constitutionality of the existing legislation in Rodriguez (1993). In April 2010, a large majority of Parliamentarians voted not to change these laws, which is an expression of democratic will on this topic."
The reason behind its illegality is due to prevent people from ‘assisting in suicide’ of those that are not mentally capable of making the decision and because of the “value that society [places] on human life” which “in the eyes of the law makers, might easily be eroded if assistance in committing suicide were to be decriminalized.” |
