We asked our followers whether Assisted Voluntary Euthanasia should be legalised in Malta as a public consultation on the topic takes place… and judging from the results, support for it seems to be pretty widespread.
70% responded ‘YES’ when simply asked whether Assisted Voluntary Euthanasia should be legal, with 30% voting no.
Diving into specifics, we asked whether one would support it only in certain cases.
63% voted for ‘Yes, only in specific situations’, whereas 23% voted ‘Yes, I support a full legalisation.’

Meanwhile, only 14% voted for ‘No, I am fully against it.’
Asking for more opinions, many in support said that no one should have power over people’s decisions, especially when it comes to suffering.
‘It should be with permission from 3 separate doctors and should only be for (those) extremely ill’ said one.
Those against it cited religious reasons for their opposition. What do you think?
You can participate in the public consultation and find the necessary information on www.facts.gov.mt
The next public consultation on Assisted Voluntary Euthanasia will take place on the 13th of June in Mosta at the Local Council Hall at 18.30hrs.
