has raged since the country's first reported mercy killing in the 1980s.
The case involved Wang Mingcheng, then aged 32, of Shaanxi province, and physician Pu Liansheng, who were convicted of the murder of Wang's mother, Xia Suwen, in1987. Xia had been diagnosed with terminal severe liver cirrhosis and ascites. Wang pleaded with doctors that his mother be given a lethal injection.
In 1988, the National People's Congress (NPC) deputy Yan Renying called for euthanasia to be legalized in the 7th NPC.
According to a poll conducted by Shaohai Market Investigation Co Ltd in 2003, 64.8 percent of Beijing respondents believed the practice should be legal.
Chen Xingliang, a professor at the Peking University School of Law, said now is not yet the right time to legalize euthanasia in China.

This passage mainly tells us about what mercy killing is and puts forward the doubt whether it is legal to put mercy killing into practice, different people hold different opinions.
Some people think that mercy killing can relieve dying patients of unbearable pain and suffering. They maintain that for these patients who can never be cured, putting the mercy-killing into practice is the best way to let them get rid of the great pain. And their family members will not have to stand the burdens economically or mentally. Others are strongly opposed to mercy killing. They argue that a doctor has no right to end a patient’s life even at the patient’s will.(They insist that people should fight for the hope and never give up life.) Therefore, they conclude that it is illegal for doctors to help the dying to end their lives.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s merciful for the doctors to help these patients come to an end of their life with the mercy-killing. First, to reduce the pain of the patients is one of the doctors’ duty. Second, Everyone has the right and freedom to manage their own life, including the freedom of choosing to die as well as the ways of death. So mercy-killing should be made legal. In short, I am in favor of mercy killing.
