The first statistics on euthanasia in Quebec were made public during the month of July. Already, figures far exceed those forecasted (>><\/a>). Unfortunately, supporters of induced death continue to ignore the warning signs and even go so far as to militate against any attempt to moderate this skyrocketing assisted suicide.<\/p>\n Thus, instead of denouncing the fact that all requests for euthanasia (26!) were accepted at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Qu\u00e9bec<\/u> (>><\/a>) the Users and Inpatients Committee <\/em>is concerned about requests that have not been fulfilled in some institutions, particularly in the cases of official scapegoats, the CHUM and the MUHC (>><\/a>).<\/p>\n In the same vein, having wanted to \"put down the refractory CHUM<\/em>\" last month (>><\/a>), the Minister of Health, Ga\u00e9tan Barrette reoffended again. This time, he attacked the MUHC to force them to euthanize patients in their palliative care unit (>><\/a>), despite the fact that this gesture is against the ethics and philosophy of palliative care as recognized worldwide.<\/p>\n Finally, V\u00e9ronique Hivon was shocked at the new ministerial directives (>><\/a>) adopted to make the practice of euthanasia in Quebec in line with federal law (>><\/a>). Thus, for the Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois MP, a 10-day reflection period, the validation of the application by two independent witnesses and the exclusion of testamentary beneficiaries of the application process is \"the end of the world\" (>><\/a>).<\/p>\n Above this free-for-all, Living with Dignity<\/em> continues its work of information and continuing to develop support initiatives for people who are facing the ordeal of illness. We look forward to sharing them with you this fall!<\/p>\n In solidarity,<\/p>\n ______________________________<\/p>\n Aubert MARTIN, executive director, Living with Dignity<\/p>\n <\/p>\n News in Quebec<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Living with Dignity in the media (English and French)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Take action in August<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Press Review (French and English)<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Euthanasia and assisted suicide news around the world\u00a0(English and French)<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Videos to watch (French and English)<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n To make a donation is... to take action!<\/b><\/p>\n Our organization would not exist without the support of people who share our vision of human solidarity and our mission to promote good palliative care for all.
