Most Canadians worried euthanasia targets poor citizens but still support practice overall

A new poll has found that most Canadians fear the nation’s euthanasia regime unfairly targets those who are financially and socially vulnerable but still support the practice in general.

The poll, conducted by Angus Reid and released on November 21, showed that roughly three-in-five respondents, or 62 percent, “worry financially or socially vulnerable people will consider MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) because they lack adequate care.”

Worryingly, the poll also found that 63 percent of respondents were fine with Canada’s current euthanasia laws.
