Our right to quality palliative care

 

The Act Respecting End-of-Life Care was sold to us as "first and foremost, a law of access to quality palliative care throughout the territory, at the patient's choice.” When it was adopted – not so long ago – its promoters insisted that it only legalized "medical aid in dying" (euthanasia) as an "exceptional measure for exceptional cases."

However it is now obvious that, almost four years since the day of its adoption and close to three years after its coming ...

Hide these abuses that we can not see…

The year 2018 is off to a very bad start for supporters of euthanasia as new disturbing cases have surfaced in Belgium and the Netherlands, where euthanasia has been legal for several years.

Review priorities: it’s urgent!

During the month of November, as the world’s most extreme (or most transparent?) supporter of assistance in suicide promoted his horrible euthanasia machine with a detachable coffin, our Quebec politicians bickered about whether the Quebec government should ask the courts to clarify the concept of “reasonably foreseeable death” in the federal law on assisted suicide.

One again, always obsessed with one side of the story that only thinks of extending euthanasia to a greater number of suffering people, our ...
