About 2/3 of Czechs support the possibility of euthanasia and the introduction of capital punishment, according to a CVVM institute's poll released today.
The poll showed that church-goers are often against euthanasia and the death penalty.
While also people aged over 60 tend to be more opposed to euthanasia, capital punishment has lower support among university graduates.
64 % believe that Czech legislation should make euthanasia possible, 27 % are against it.
Nearly 2/3 of the respondents would like to have capital punishment reintroduced and 1/3 is against the idea.
However, in the early 1990s, support for the death penalty was higher, being around 3/4 of the population.
The poll was conducted among 1115 persons over 15 in early May.
