[quote=JIMMYB,297962]News: Cheng Pengcai (a guy living in Daye city, Hubei Province) was arrested for he intentionally "killed" his wife Ke Zhenying (actually, he didn't kill his wife, just assisting her to suicide). According to the news, Cheng's wife has been laying on the bed for 11 years. However, Cheng and his daughter never gave up and have been taking care of her for 11 years. Seeing his wife suffering from the illness, he would rather to suffer instead of her. In order to relieve her wife from the sufferings, he bought a bottle pesticides and helped her wife practice euthanasia. But the local people's procuratorates didn't think so. Althought he did this just for relieving her wife's sufferings, he has broken the law to kill his wife. The news has drawn much attention from the public. Many netizens have aired their opinions. A cetain number of the netizens say that Cheng Pengcai's behaviour is understandable. Since he loves her wife deeply, he wouldn't like to see her suffering from the pain so that he helped her practice euthanasia. In their opinions, he is not guilty and shouldn't be sentenced to be in prison. However, some other people don't think so. Since the euthanasia hasn't been made legal in China, he has broken the current law for intentionally killing his wife. Thus, he should be responsible for her wife's death. If he wasn't sentenced, some other people might make use of it to kill other people. In my view, China should make euthanasia legal very soon. In the extreme condition (better-being-dead-than-being-alive), people have the right to end their lives. Better to let them die than to force them live in misery. What do you think? Is Cheng Pengcai guilty? Should China make euthanasia legal?[/quote]
