A recent survey revealed that more than a quarter of Canadians believe that the homeless and poor should be selected for state-assisted suicide . According to them, poverty or homelessness is a good reason for the state to end their lives.
The survey conducted by the Canadian polling company Research Co. found that 27% said the Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) program should be available to those in poverty, while 28% said the same should be done for the roughly 30,000 homeless people.
Additionally, a higher 43 percent of the 1,000 adults surveyed said assisted suicide should be available to people with disabilities, mental illness or those who cannot afford medical care.
Canada has been described as home to the most tolerant assisted-suicide program, which began in 2016. Records show that more than 10,000 people have ended their lives under the program in recent years.
As the country's government officials consider whether to expand the assisted-suicide program to children and the mentally ill, the survey found that nearly 75 percent of Canadians believe the country has the right policies in place to allow people to seek medical help when they die.
The Dying With Dignity campaign group pointed out that the proceedings were "driven by compassion, ending suffering and discrimination". But experts say the regulations lack necessary safeguards, devalue the lives of people with disabilities and prompt doctors and health workers to recommend the procedure without suggesting alternative help.
“One-third of Canadians are fine with prescribing assisted suicide for the homeless. Shame,” tweeted Lord David Alton. “Homeless people need a roof over their head, not a lethal injection. End the homeless, not the lives of the homeless."
"We said we would have safeguards and guardrails, but the next administration can just make a decision, that's exactly what's happening," said Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition.
Euthanasia is legal in Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Spain, as well as many states in Australia. Available to children in the Netherlands and Belgium.
