摘要
安乐死与故意杀人在形式上有不少相似之处,但存在着本质的区别,安乐死行为不应具有犯罪性。大陆法系犯罪构成论中的阻却违法事由和阻却责任事由(期待可能性)说对我国的安乐死立法有借鉴意义。不论是根据优越的法益说、目的说,还是根据社会的相当性行为说来讨论,安乐死都存在着阻却违法事由。对安乐死行为人进行期待可能性分析,不能期待患者作出规范的自然死亡的选择,也无法合理地期待医生面对患者经受病痛折磨而无动于衷。实施安乐死实乃无奈之举,缺乏期待可能性,此为阻却责任事由。安乐死的行为具有非犯罪性。
Although, formally, euthanasia is similar to intentional homicide, they are quite different in nature. Euthanasia should not be taken as a criminal act. Based on the justification for inhibition of crimes and the justification for inhibition of responsibility in the mainland law system, this essay goes further to make an approach to China＇s theoretical basis of the non-criminal nature of euthanasia. Judging by predominant law in- terest and purpose, or by social worthiness action, we can find a justification for inhibition of crimes in eutha- nasia. When we make an analysis of euthanasia actors by expectant possibility, we can not expect the patient＇s choice of normative natural death or the doctor/s lack of sympathy in face of the patient＇s extreme sufferings. Euthanasia is a helpless action, without expectant possibility. It is a justification for inhibition of responsibility. Euthanasia has a nature of non-criminal action.
