Online poll on Assisted Suicide

Please go to the current poll at: www.ctv.ca

The question is: What is your point of view on assisted suicide? Keep it illegal, It is compassionate help, Haven’t decided.

This poll is related to the fact that the sentence for Marielle Houle who assisted the suicide of her son Charles Fariala is coming down today.

Houle got 3 months probation. The majority on the poll prefer to keep assisted suicide illegal.

It’s because it’s evil repackaged as good. You want to be compassionate to people who are suffering. No one thinks about the negative aspects or slippery slopes or abuses because the media never hits on that point of view. Then when a case as blatant as Terri Schiavo’s comes along, the secular world lets it pass without a whisper.

Sorry, my mistake: 3 years probation.

The vote is a little closer,and I voted against most of you

I know i am bad but i feel that if a person is going to commit suicide they are going to do it regardless,only without assistance its a lot harder on the family member that finds the mess left over.
and for some strange reason it always seems to be a child that finds the body with thier head half gone. thats why i feel the way i feel.
dont make it right or wrong

I am for it, for the terminally ill. I’m not going to state my reasons because I do not want them to be argued. Its some stuff my relative told me before he died. It is very sensitive to me.
