This film is about thinking about issues like "euthanasia"

Although I highly recommend this film, it is estimated that most of the people run away from the review title. No way, the Chinese translation of this film seems to be a sci-fi action cop film, in fact, it tells a deep-seated social problem-this kind of problem is still difficult for most people in China to understand.

Let me talk about the legalization of a concept "euthanasia" that seems to be a digression. What is life? Is it worthwhile to delay life meaninglessly? Should it? This is a hot topic in the West. There are many radical literary works derived from the pros and cons. Just as the cloning technology appeared a few years ago about human cloning and many movies, this solace is also "euthanasia." A radical derivative work of.

If a person has advanced cancer and cannot be cured, it is very painful that life is better than death, should he be euthanized? There is now an increasing view that if I am willing, I can be euthanized.

Okay, one step further, if the person himself has lost consciousness, only knows the pain and wailing, and cannot decide his own life or death, then should he be euthanized? If he should, well, go one step further, if he is still in the early stage of cancer, but the disease is destined to be incurable, he will definitely go to the late stage step by step. The patient is not so painful now, but soon he will be worse than dead. So, should I kill him in the early stage to avoid suffering in the future?

Speaking of which, this is the film. In a series of murder cases, the killing technique was so clean and neat that the victim died without feeling any pain at all. It turned out to be a person who could see the future. He saw that these people would die in pain due to illness in the future, so he ended the lives of these people in a painless way in advance. The investigator also understands spiritism. After investigating it, he discovered the truth. He also discovered that the person who carried out the euthanasia was dying himself, so he wanted to pass on his theory and practice to the investigator. , Let him take over for himself to continue the euthanasia. So did he accept it? The film left this question, which was originally a question to be considered. However, in the film, the investigator euthanized his daughter because he could not bear the torture of his daughter's cancer.

Except for moral and ethical thinking, this film is very nervous and suspenseful. Even as a pure science fiction action film, it is also very worth watching, so it is highly recommended
