The chapter focuses the attention, firstly, on the origins of the right to die and its intersections with the development of life-maintaining medical technologies. Then, the analysis goes on by distinguishing between a right to refusal (current or by an advance directive) medical supports, and the recognition of some form of active aid in suiciding, taking into account the principal elements of the American, Canadian, European and Chinese legal frameworks.

Abstract
The chapter focuses the attention, firstly, on the origins of the right to die and its intersections with the development of life-maintaining medical technologies. Then, the analysis goes on by distinguishing between a right to refusal (current or by an advance directive) medical supports, and the recognition of some form of active aid in suiciding, taking into account the principal elements of the American, Canadian, European and Chinese legal frameworks.
