We investigated 75 elderly of low socio-economic classes, living in the community, whether they allowed euthanasia in family members. 77.3% do not perform euthanasia. Regarding permission to a physician, responded with negatives: 78.7% for active form, 68% for passive, and 62.7% for double effect. The contrary arguments were: religious issues, destiny believing, hope of healing, don't assume the responsibility and guilty conscience.Downloads
