Abstract

Assisted suicide and euthanasia are two forms of what is being called 'assisted dying', and they are touted by proponents as "progressive" and "compassionate". In fact, they are, on the contrary, relics from the last century: today, in the 21st century, we have moved beyond such archaic solutions - we now have, instead, proper evidence-based palliative care. It is this that should be demanded for all. This article will dispel the myths around dying that are often cited. It will also explore the oft-overlooked tragedies generated by assisted suicide, in the hope you, the reader, can be better informed about this retrogressive practice.

协助自杀是20世纪的问题,姑息治疗是21世纪的解决方案。
辅助自杀和安乐死是所谓“辅助死亡”的两种形式,它们被支持者吹捧为“进步的”和“富有同情心的”。事实上,恰恰相反,它们是上个世纪的遗物:今天,在21世纪,我们已经超越了这些陈旧的解决方案——我们现在有了适当的、以证据为基础的姑息治疗。这是所有人都应该要求的。这篇文章将消除那些经常被引用的关于死亡的神话。它还将探讨由协助自杀引起的经常被忽视的悲剧,希望读者能更好地了解这种倒退的做法。
