Critical Analysis the on the Citizens' ‘Right to Die’

Abstract

The law needs to protect citizens' "right to die". With the rapid development of modern medical technology, extending life in an artificially limited way has become possible. Accordingly, the "right to die", especially the choice of life self-determination and end-of-life medical treatment, has become a social and legal issue that cannot be avoided. In this article, we will analyse specific cases from the perspectives of competent and incompetent patients to demonstrate the connection between the "right to die" and the human rights of citizens and explore the legal protection of the "right to die". The paper will discuss the need for legal protection of the "right to die". It is argued that the safety of the 'right to die within the framework of human rights is the basis for protecting the right to self-determination and dignity of citizens and the defence of Article 8 rights in the framework of the European Convention on Human Rights. The security of the patient's right to self-determination and dignity, based on the best interests principle, will help build consensus in the legal. Medical and ethical fields promote the construction of a legal system of death that aligns with traditional culture and the modern concept of the rule of law.
