[quote=KATRINA,298226]"To try and write this into some form of legislation would/could and does lead to abuse." Dodger, why do you think that people will abuse euthanasia if it is made legal? Personally, I think that the law (if euthanasia was made legal) can regulate people abuse euthanasia. If it was not made legal, more cases like Cheng Pengcai might happen. I consult with my colleague who is familiar with Chinese laws. He told that Cheng Pengcai might face at least 16 years imprisonment for "murdering" his wife. The prerequisite is that the judge considers that Cheng Pengcai did this just for relieving her wife from sufferings. More seriously, he might stay in the prison until he dies. By the way, China has introduced lethal injection to execute the criminals. In the past, the criminals are usually shot by firing-squad. However, it is too inhumane and causes much pain and panic to the criminals. By adopting lethal injection, the criminals die peacefully. [/quote]
