A new Spanish study from the Centre for Sociological Investigation revealed that 60% of Spaniards are pro-euthanasia and only one in ten are against it. Also, last May, the ERC Catalan Republicans proposed an idea which called for the government to create a Commission that would allow a debate for the right of euthanasia. The government rejected their proposal. César Caballero, the federal coordinator of the DMD, Association for the Right to a Dignified Death, feels that the government only rejected them because they do not want to face the Catholic church, who compares euthanasia to homicide. His association is calling for the de-penalisation of euthanasia in Spain, however Andalucía parliament passed "passive euthanasia." Passive euthanasia allows patients to reject treatment.
