Most Quebec MDs in favour of legalized euthanasia: survey

MONTREAL – When it comes to euthanasia, Quebec medical specialists are in sync with the rest of society.

In survey of its members released Tuesday, the Quebec Federation of Medical Specialists found that 84 per cent of responders are ready for a public debate on the issue and 74 per cent “would certainly favour or probably be favourable” to euthanasia within a legal framework.

Federation president Gaétan Barrette likened the euthanasia controversy to the abortion debate of 20 years ago where society seemed several steps ahead of legislators.

More to come.

Might mean others could see a doctor in a more timely fashion—maybe within the year! And this is what they want to bring to America! Great.

How about those docs try it on themselves first? Get back to us...

But -- that thing about the Death Panels?? Well ... that's ... that's totally not in the bill. Really. [/s]

Socialized medicine doctors are in perfect step with Zero. This is what we will be facing as doctors who are not Socialists will retire. Goodbye to the USA as we knew it.

They can go first, then I will think about it.

Why just mention Quebec?

After a few years of Obamacare, most U.S. doctors will be in favor of euthanasia too.

BTW, Christians will be forbidden from attending medical school in the U.S. starting in 2014 per the Obamacare people and their future edicts.

Trust me on this one.

Kill them quick... Save money. Why are liberals so cruel.

In the movie Soylent Green they needed the food so the age you reported to the death chamber cooker was down to 40 years old ...

I want to know the difference between “He’s too old and it’s too much trouble to take care of” and “he’s too young and it’s too much trouble to take care of.”

Since the criteria for euthanasia seems to revolve around quality of life and amount of care, then it stands to reason the very old and very young can both be euthanized.

“Right To Die” quickly turns into “Duty To Die.”

But, but don't you see the potential for greatness this is.
No more old people to care for and pay out SS benefits and Medicare to them (government pockets the money)there won't be any mentally retarded or downs syndrome children because they will have been aborted, another savings or SSI payments, medical, etc., then there is always that “I don't want to have this kid” child, aborted on demand. And, so it goes. As long as you are able to work your ass off for the government so they can tax your ass off then you are very valuable otherwise bye-bye.

They don't think their rule over the masses is acting cruelly. In their unbounded wisdom, they know best what is good for you and your family. Plus, they've run out of other people's money...

[Tarpon]

Yep, but we are still armed and there are way more of us.

[1000 silverlings]

Yes and Christians will be the ones euthanized

[uncommonsense]

You just reminded me to visit my local sporting goods store! You know, with inflation, ammunition will act as a universal currency.

74 per cent “would certainly favour or probably be favourable” to euthanasia

That's disgusting.
