The National Health Commission responded to the Death with Dignity legislation

The National Health and Health Commission has replied to the "Proposal on Accelerating the Legislative Process of Dignified Death" issued by the deputies to the Fourth Session of the Thirteenth National People's Congress, saying that there are still some controversies in the relevant legal, medical and social ethics circles regarding the legislation of dignified death, and social understanding is not yet unified, and there are still many difficulties. The National Health Commission will continue to listen to the opinions of relevant experts and all sectors of society, strengthen communication with relevant departments, and study relevant work in depth.

Regarding the proposal to legislate the specific content of the legislation on dignified death, the National Health Commission replied that the implementation of "dignified death" mentioned by the deputies in the proposal is similar to the concept of palliative care to a certain extent, that is, to no longer take excessive prolonged treatment at the time of terminal illness patients dying, and to use hospice care to give patients hospice care, so that they can leave the world naturally and with dignity, so as to minimize the unbearable pain of patients at the end of life, and also reduce the economic burden of the patient's family and society. Some of this can be achieved by advancing palliative care. (Phoenix Network)
