Canada has legalized euthanasia and assisted suicide under certain circumstances. These practices deliberately and intentionally cause a person’s death.
All human life is precious. Life is a gift from God for us to respect and protect through all its stages. Each person’s life has worth, regardless of their age or ability, because they are made in the image of God and loved by him. This belief in the sanctity of all human life compels us to completely oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide.
God calls us to care for those who are vulnerable , including those who are ill or near the end of life. The EFC supports palliative care as a compassionate response that supports and cares for those who are suffering or terminally ill.
ACT NOW: A new bill on euthanasia is likely to be one of the first introduced this fall. It is expected to move quickly through the new Parliament. The new bill will expand the euthanasia law so that people who aren’t dying can be eligible. Please contact your MP now to express concern. See the EFC’s action kit to help you engage. A few minutes of your time can have a big impact.
