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.
TAKE ACTION ON EXPANSION: Assisted death for medical illness opens March 2024 unless stopped, and MAID for minors has also been recommended. Action is needed now. See TheEFC. ca/TakeActionOnMAID.
TAKE ACTION ON CONSCIENCE OF HEALTH CARE WORKERS: Medical professionals should not be forced to participate in euthanasia. See TheEFC. ca/Conscience.
