Canadian doctors would kill 28,000 patients annually, half with consent, half without consent. As there are significant differences between Dutch and Canadian societies, Canada would not necessarily replicate the Dutch experience. The argument can be made that vulnerable people would be in greater jeopardy in Canada. CCD opposes legalized euthanasia because we believe that people with disabilities would be over-represented in the category of persons killed without their consent. As has been the case in Holland, procedural safeguards would not offer us any real protection.
