A ccording
to some surveys, three-quarters of Canadians would favour the
legalizationof euthanasia. Above all, they fear one day becoming a
burden and having their lives unduly prolonged in suffering.
Given the immense confusion surrounding euthanasia, it is reasonable to question these
statistics and some unreliable surveys. It is more than likely that the
majority of citizenswould change their minds if they were properly
informed.
The “quick answers” presented here
provide appropriate responses to common arguments put forward by
proponents of euthanasia and assisted suicide. In conclusion, a
Christian perspective on the delicate issues of suffering and death
will help those who wish to better understand the unalterable dignity
of the human person.
