We are sharing this call to action from the Physicians’ Alliance against Euthanasia:

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO<\/span>) is currently conducting another national public consultation on its policies on: MAiD<\/i>, Professional Obligations and Human Rights<\/i> and Planning for and Providing Quality End-of-Life Care,<\/i> in anticipation of updating these policies following the passing of Bill C-7. The deadline for the consultation is May 14th<\/sup>, 2021.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the main concerns regarding the policies is the possibility of obliged referrals for MAiD, hence this urgent call to action for conscience protection. There are also concerns that the new CPSO<\/span> policies will not clearly specify the expectation that \u2018standard of care\u2019 therapy should be applied first. Note: All doctors and\/or citizens across Canada may respond to the CPSO<\/span>\u2019s physician and public consultations.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We ask that you kindly complete the surveys addressing the above mentioned policies. For each policy, there is dedicated consultation page<\/b> (with a survey<\/b>) and a discussion page<\/b> (where we encourage you to write your comments<\/b>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>MAiD2Mad offers guidelines for the MAiD<\/i> and Professional Obligations and Human Rights<\/i> consultations.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
