MONTREAL, February 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

- Con foto

Al tiempo que Quebec se prepara para convertirse en la primera provincial de Canadá y en el primer lugar de América en promulgar una ley que permite la eutanasia sin llevar a cabo un referéndum, los quebequenses hacen un llamamiento al mundo para pedir su ayuda de cara a influir en el Gobierno de Quebec para que no apruebe la legislación. En este video, diferentes ciudadanos de una sección diversa de la sociedad de Quebec comparten sus historias personales y explican los peligros y abusos que seguirán en caso de promulgar la ley.

Nadine, que en la actualidad tiene 16 años y que ha superado una forma agresiva de leucemia, incluyendo la tormentosa experiencia de un transplante de médula ósea, describe cómo podría haber sido rechazada en lo que respecta a la aplicación de quimioterapia cuando tenía 14 años si estuviera en marcha la ley propuesta. La ley permitiría a las personas de 14 años rechazar tratamiento sin consentimiento de sus padres. Afortunadamente la ley no estaba aprobada, y Nadine está bien viva. Su madre, Claude, testifica la importancia acerca de la familia y el amor en el apoyo a los jóvenes en el momento de sus vidas en el que son más vulnerables.

Otras personas describen los peligros y abusos que podrían suceder a personas de todas las edades en caso de la aprobación de la eutanasia en Quebec. En la versión francesa del video, Christiane, que cuenta con 40 años, está impactada por la batalla de su madre, que perdió la lucha contra el cáncer de mama en el pasado, y de su hermana, que sobrevivió a la misma lucha en los últimos años, gracias a la mejora considerable de los actuales tratamientos médicos. ¿ Qué hubiera pasado si su hermana se hubiese rendido demasiado pronto y decidiera que le aplicaran la eutanasia en lugar de luchar contra el cáncer, basándose en las anteriores experiencias de su madre? ¿ Qué hubiera ocurrido si el médico le hubiese dibujado una nefasta prognosis y futuro? ¿ Qué hubiera sucedido en ese caso?

También en la versión francesa, otros testigos, incluyendo Luc, describen los abusos potenciales de los politicos, administradores de hospitals, profesión médica y familias en una sociedad impulsada por el dinero en la que algunas vidas podrían considerarse como inferiores en respecto a su vida debido a las presiones financieras.

La doctora Sylvia Baribeau, una médico de familia, y el doctor Pierre Faubert, psicólogo clínico, describen la injusta desventaja a la que una persona se enfrenta de forma emocional y física para tomar la decisión de que se le aplique la eutanasia.

Estos videos de testigos siguen la conmovedora historia de Jessica, de 4 años, nacida con una malformación cardiaca severa, y su apelación al Rey d Bélgica para que no firme la legislación de la eutanasia para niños en el video publicado el 2 de febrero.

La legislación de Quebec en torno a la eutanasia está previsto que se ponga sobre la mesa el 11 de febrero de 2014, el "World Day of the Sick". La Quebec Human Rights Commission recomienda la ampliación de la eutanasia a los niños.
