I'm not sure if you're aiming at 1, 2, or 3 below — or something else. Please explain in more detail.

1 What sick person would do that? / Who that is sick would do that?
2 Who would be sick enough to do that?
3 Who would do that to a sick person?

I meant exactly two(2):"Who would be sick enough to do that?"
is there any alternative form for 2 like:"who the sick would do that?"

No, I'm afraid not. 2 is typical idiomatic English, and that's the perfect way to say it if that's what you want to say. Your version (Who the sick ...) is not grammatical. In English we don't combine words in that way.

I just thought of an alternative, but it's wordier, so I don't think it's so good.

Who would be so sick that they would do that?
