One of the principal arguments the Canadian bishops have made in the end-of-life debates is that Canada needs a well-funded and regionally equitable palliative care system.
A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER: Vermont is pushing to become the U.S.’ second destination state for ‘death tourism’ as legislators seek to legalize assisted suicide for nonresidents.
The widower is sounding the alarm over what he says is a shocking and dangerous bias in the medical system toward the promotion of death for sick and elderly patients.
The increase in physician-assisted deaths occurred prior to passage of a law that could greatly expand the number of patients requesting euthanasia.
According to an Angus Reid Institute survey on the values of Canadians, conducted earlier this year, 80% of Canadians say “it should be easier to make their own end-of-life decisions.”
The bishops condemned “the lamentable legislative aim” of broadening access to assisted dying, and insisted “that every opportunity for due diligence be taken during the parliamentary process.”
Members of the Canadian government praised the new bill and the potential expansion of euthanasia in the country.
