Quebec Life Coalition

Living with Dignity conducted an independent analysis of the 427 oral presentations and written submissions to the Select committee on dying with dignity “The numbers are black and white. In the presentations to the Commission there was 99 per cent agreement that palliative care is the dignified choice Quebecers want available at the end of life. At the same time, 60 per cent of the submissions opposed any opening for euthanasia. Only about a third ( 34%) of those who submitted to the commission were either somewhat or strongly in favor of euthanasia.

I was interviewed this morning on CTV's Canada AM about the Dying with Dignity Committee's work so far and the fact that this committee's work is now resuming.

Go here for our main arguments for why we at Quebec Life Coalition agree with the Canadian parliament's recent decision to keep euthanasia off the table when it comes to caring for patients and concern for end-of-life dignity.
