摘要
医生对身患绝症 ,没有治疗效果的病人主动放弃治疗给法律带来了三方面的冲击。法律在放弃治疗问题上的革命否定了对该类病人的“治疗”是真正意义上的治疗 ,否定了延长此类病人的存活期限一定符合病人利益的主张 ,甚至否定了此类病人的生命权益。在我国有关放弃治疗立法中 ,应注意对放弃治疗的定义、对象、决定的作出者以及放弃治疗的例外作出界定 ,设立放弃治疗审查委员会 ,在法律上规定其职能。
The doctor's active withdrawal of treatment from the patients with terminal illness challenges the current law in three perspectives:its conflict with doctor's duty of no rejection of patients,its conflict with the Convention on Civilians and Political Rights,its conflict with contractual obligation to give treatment.After the revolution in law on the issue of withdrawal of treatment,the so-called treatment to the patients with terminal illness is no more regarded as the genuine treatment,continuing treatment to those patients contradicts with their best interests,and those patients are even deemed to have no further interest in being kept alive.Chinese legislation on withdrawal of treatment should focus on (1)What is “withdrawal of treatment”?(2)From whom may the treatment be withdrawn?(3)Who is entitled to make a valid decision on withdrawal of treatment?(4)What is the exception to withdrawal of treatment?A special committee on withdrawal of treatment with prescribed powers and duties must be created under the law.
