However, they suffer from unbearable pain which healthy individuals cannot understand. On the other hand, with the aware of rights improving and the voice of guarantee of human rights gradually rising, when the cognition of death conception has changed fundamentally, the patients have rights to choose continuing treatment or ending their lives. It is the two reasons that the euthanasia arise the concerns of the public, and also impacts traditional moral values, philosophy and legal norms.Euthanasia is already not a problem that we can avoid, in the analysis of euthanasia, the right to life to explore the essence in this matter from a constitutional point of view. Constitution can no longer stay on the comb and the description of the history of the value of the Constitution to provide an effective interpretation methods and solutions to solve complex practical and raised the most acute legal issues.
