安乐死历来是充满争议的话题。有关安乐死的争论除涉及哲学、伦理学、医学等领域外,法学界对安乐死问题的争论也从未停息过。笔者认为,安乐死之争,不仅是一个市民社会如何理性对待生与死的生命伦理问题以及民主国家如何作出恰当反应的刑事政策问题,更是刑法认识论的变革、罪行法定原则的功能机制的重新评定与犯罪构成模式的重新塑造等深层要求的必然。 Euthanasia has always been a controversial topic. The euthanasia debates over euthanasia have never stopped except in the areas of philosophy, ethics and medicine. The author believes that the struggle between euthanasia is not only a civil society how to rationally deal with the life and death of the bioethical issues and how to make appropriate response to the criminal policy of democracies, but also the reform of criminal law epistemology, the legal principle of crime re-assessment of the functional mechanism And the remodeling of criminal constitutional model and other deep requirements.
