Abstract

This paper examines the following line of argument against allowing euthanasia in Canada: “[Sue] Rodriguez... argued that she be given the able bodied person's freedom of choice. But true choice requires equal support for a decision to live. ... Were freedom of choice in fact a primary concern, liberalized euthanasia legislation would require full levels of mandated social support. ...”
