Why should you be concerned about
Proposals for Assisted Suicide?
 
     Allowing assisted suicide and euthanasia takes away from the basic dignity and worth of human life.  It suggests that the worth of a human life is not fundamental but relative to whether it is thought to be meaningful, useful, or worth living. 
     Allowing euthanasia can lead from an option to end one’s life to creating a duty to die in order not to be a burden.
     The recommendations being presented are too broad and allow assisted suicide for a number of reasons.  A survey indicates that many Canadians agree the grounds are too broad. Many feel allowing assisted suicide for things like depression, mental illness, and severe disablilties is dangerous.
     The proposals fail to protect the rights of doctors and nurses not to be involved for reasons of conscience.
     The proposed “safeguards” are too open-ended.  In fact no set of safeguards can really protect the weak and vulnerable.
    The real answers are more palliative care, better care of the elderly, and better services for the disabled and the mentally ill.
