Euthanasia/MAiD

Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops on the Non-Permissibility of Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide.
Despite the pressure being applied to Catholic healthcare institutions by some Canadians and Canadian organizations to perform, or to provide through a third-party, ‘Medical Assistance in Dying/MAiD,’ in other words, euthanasia or assisted suicide, the Catholic Church, which regards life as sacred and inviolable, remains firm in its opposition to MAiD. Euthanasia and assisted suicide (MAiD) have always been, and will always be, morally unacceptable because they are affronts to human dignity and violations of natural and divine law.

This discussion provides a rich reflection touching on how to challenge medically assisted suicide and euthanasia in a polarized society, the relation between MAiD and suicide, the call to a more profound vision of life, and the issue of pastoral accompaniment.
