Dear Members of Canada\'s Federal and Provincial Parliaments,
Whereas euthanasia should not be considered a form of medical treatment; and;
Whereas euthanasia is incompatible with and must be separate from palliative care; and;
Whereas the traditional definition of palliative care that, “intends neither to hasten nor postpone death.” (WHO) should be maintained; and;
Whereas healthcare sanctuary (a place of physical and psychological safety in the healthcare system) should be a human right in Canada;
Therefore we, the undersigned citizens of Canada and members of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC) and Delta Hospice Society, call on the federal and provincial governments to provide a complete review of Canada’s euthanasia (medical assistance in dying, or “MAID”) regime.
We are concerned with the direction of Canada’s MAID law. We oppose killing people.
