The legal position of the child as a vulnerable individual requires us as a society to treat them with special consideration in regard to the sanctity of life. In UK law, euthanasia is currently illegal, although there are some moves afoot to have this changed for those who have reached majority (18 years of age in the UK).
儿童作为弱势群体的法律地位要求我们整个社会在生命的神圣性方面给予他们特殊关照。在英国法律中,安乐死目前是非法的,尽管目前正在采取一些行动,以使这一法律规定对于已成年者(在英国为18岁)有所改变。
