There is no legal basis for euthanasia in China and it is difficult to differentiate euthanasia and deliberate killing. The current law of China forbids any person to "deprive others of their lives." If the doctor really ended patients' lives by using drugs, it is entirely possible for the doctor to be charged with "deliberate killing" or he is likely to receive administrative or legal punishment and denunciation by public opinion.
