A Constitutional Study on Euthanasia

Euthanasia is a difficult moral and legal problem that humans are facing with. It is a multi-domain problem. From the perspective of constitution, euthanasia leads to three problems: firstly, patient's right of life crosses with his right of human dignity; secondly, whether there is a right for patient to die or to abandon his fundamental rights; thirdly, patient's right to self-determination stands against state's duty to protect people's fundamental rights. Answers to these three problems will provide theoretic support for other domains to establish the institution of euthanasia.
