In our Canadian Parliament, Bill C-384 has been introduced that would legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada. This is not limited to persons with terminal illness but leaves this open to persons with depression and chronic mental conditions.
We the undersigned are deeply opposed to Bill C-384 which seeks to legalize assisted suicide in Canada.
To legalize assisted suicide would place large numbers of vulnerable people at risk – in particular those who are depressed, elderly or disabled and those who feel themselves to be under emotional or financial pressure to request early death.
We believe that this bill is unnecessary, goes against Canadian values & endangers all Canadians.
This Petition will be mailed (electronically & by post) on December 15, 2009 to Prime Minister Stephen Harper & Justice Minister Rob Nicholson .
Prime Minister Harper and Minister Nicholson are trying to push this dangerous bill through while we watch in silence. I am getting messages from people across the country who are terrified that our laws will soon target the most vulnerable among us. We are preparing to flood their offices with these signatures to show them that we will not let this happen.
November 26, 2009
The sheer weight of this support shows that Canadians refuse to let the government push vulnerable people toward the grave. Prime Minister Harper and Minister Nicholson cannot ignore this surge of opposition much longer. We are forcing them to face the reality that this bill is a direct assault on our values.

Whatever happened to caring for the sick and elderly? This is just laziness and a way to save money at the cost of lives. Terrible.

My grandmother struggled with depression for years and if this was an option she might have taken it. I am so glad she had support instead. Do not let this pass.

Too much risk for vulnerable people. This is a slippery slope we shouldnt go down.
