BILL C-7 – An Act to amend the Criminal Code
Expansion of eligibility criteria for physician-assisted dying
Worrisome! Because:
- People may have recourse to medical assistance in dying even when natural death
is not reasonably foreseeable - A person may waive their final consent when natural death is reasonably
foreseeable, putting them in a vulnerable position
Disturbing! Because: - a questionable, biased and rushed online survey underlies this Bill
- it shows a systematic discarding of different points of view
Let us Affirm! - The inalienable right to life which cannot be taken away by others
- The importance of compassion for the sick and dying
- Our responsibility to protect the most vulnerable among us
- The possibility of relieving pain and suffering without resorting to murder
Let us Demand! - A public, transparent process open to a wide variety of voices
- A taking into account of inviolable moral and ethical principles
- To be heard!
Let us Act! - Be sure your member of parliament (MP) hears your opinion!
