Euthanasia in canada statistics

 A public opinion poll by Angus Reid 26  July 2012, states that 80%  of participants  in Canada support  a doctor to assist a patient in ending their life, 75% of us believe doctor assisted suicide should be allowed and four out of five Canadians want Parliament to debate the topic of doctor  assisted suicide.

According to this survey , Canadians  accept  euthanasia  under two different scenarios :

  1. If the patient is terminally ill and will die in less than six months; and
  2. If the patient is expected to suffer a great deal of physical and mental anguish during that time.
Times have change , while many years ago euthanasia was seen as a crime, now it  means the end of  a person's suffering.Nowadays the majority of people are considering euthanasia to be the more humane conduct and help people because life should be a matter of quality not quantity.
