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.
CONCERN OVER EXPANSION: A special committee is reviewing the MAID law in 2022 and considering expanding it. Visit TheEFC. ca/MAIDreview to learn more and download our Action Kit to Halt Expansion of MAID to Include Mental Illness Alone.
CONCERN FOR CONSCIENCE OF HEALTH CARE WORKERS: For issues around protecting medical professionals from being forced to participate in euthanasia, see TheEFC. ca/Conscience.
