This month the Senate Committee on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide will issue its long-awaited report. Within a year, MPs are likely to decide in a free vote whether euthanasia should be legalized in Canada. Indications are that while there is public sentiment supporting euthanasia, there is also vehement opposition, even from some who once supported the right of choice. The Senate committee is wrestling with the issue of whether public opinion and the surreptitious practice of euthanasia are enough to justify changes to the Criminal Code.
本月，参议院安乐死与协助自杀委员会将发布其期待已久的报告。在一年内，议员们可能会通过自由投票来决定安乐死在加拿大是否应该合法化。有迹象表明，虽然存在支持安乐死的公众情绪，但也有强烈反对的声音，甚至一些曾经支持选择权的人也表示反对。参议院委员会正在纠结公众舆论和安乐死的秘密实施是否足以成为修改《刑法》的理由。
