Archbishop of Toronto speaks out against assisted dying
"Dying is simply not the same as being killed," Cardinal Thomas Collins, the Archbishop of Toronto, said in a video, which the Archdiocese posted earlier this week to YouTube. "We are grateful for physicians and nurses and others who offer medical assistance to patients who are dying. But it is never justified for them to kill."
Collins says he's shocked by a parliamentary committee's recommendations that would force doctors to at least refer people to a physician willing to help someone end their life, including, in some cases, minors and the mentally ill. The committee also recommended allowing people suffering from conditions like dementia to pre-schedule the date of their death.
