No Last Rites for MAiD

Medical Assistance in Dying is opposed by people of sound conscience for many reasons. Matthew Loftus capably distinguishes between allowing people to die and killing them. Jonathan von Maren notes its especially perilous potential for those who suffer with mental illness. The conference of Canadian Roman Catholic bishops have declared “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.”
