分析我国古代和当今外国关于故意杀人罪的立法例,可以发现,关于故意杀人罪的立法主要有两种模式。第一种模式是将故意杀人罪分解为几种不同的犯罪加以规定,例如,我国唐朝的法律将故意杀人罪分为谋杀、故杀、劫杀、斗杀四种;英国刑法则将故意杀人罪分为普通杀人、谋杀、杀婴和教唆杀人等。第二种模式是先规定一个故意杀人罪的基本罪状,适用一般的法定刑;然后将情节严重的故意杀人逐一列出,规定加重的法定刑;再将个别需要减轻处罚的特殊的故意杀人罪另立罪名,规定较轻的法定刑。
笔者主张将故意杀人罪的规定分为基本罪状、加重罪状以及减轻罪状三个部分的立法建议,也就是先规定一个故意杀人罪的基本罪状,并规定基本的法定刑;然后规定加重情节和加重的法定刑;再规定减轻情节和减轻的法定刑。在基本的法定刑中应该没有死刑。在加重的法定刑中应有死刑。减轻的法定刑应轻于基本的法定刑。
