Shanghai woman with lupus erythematosus goes to Switzerland for euthanasia

Ms. Liu, who has lived in Shanghai for many years, was recently diagnosed with lupus erythematosus, and her condition gradually deteriorated. In order to relieve the pain, she decided to go to Switzerland for euthanasia. In a Swiss hospital, Ms. Liu received euthanasia treatment and finally chose to end her life.

However, the decision has attracted widespread attention and controversy in society. Some people believe that euthanasia is a legal right, and Ms. Liu has the right to choose her own way of death. But others are concerned that this practice will have a negative impact on society and may lead to more suicides.

According to experts, lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that mainly manifests itself as damage to multiple organs such as the skin, joints, and kidneys. Due to the severity of the condition, patients often experience severe fatigue, pain, and other symptoms, which seriously affect their quality of life. In this case, if patients can choose their own way of death, it is undoubtedly a respect for their rights and interests.

However, different people have different views on euthanasia. Some see it as a free choice and responsibility for one's own life; others see it as an irresponsible act towards others and society that could lead to more tragedy.

In general, whether lupus patients have the right to choose euthanasia is a complex issue that needs to be considered from multiple angles. On the one hand, we need to protect the legitimate rights and interests of patients and give them enough dignity and freedom; on the other hand, we should also recognize the risks and consequences of euthanasia and avoid excessive abuse. Only in this way can we better cope with this complex problem and provide better medical services for patients.
