Chers amis,
En ce premier dimanche de l’Avant, je suis heureux de vous présenter la réflexion pastorale des évêques de l’Atlantique sur l’assistance médicale à mourir.
Cette lettre des évêques vous partage leur pensés et leur conseils pour bien répondre aux individus et leur familles qui seraient porter à considérer l’assistance médicale à mourir et qui souhaiteraient un soin pastorale.
Dear Friends,
On this first Sunday of Advent, I am pleased to present the pastoral reflection of the Atlantic Bishops, on the matter of medically assisted dying.
In this letter, the bishops offer their thoughts and advise on how to appropriately respond to individuals and their families who may be considering medically assisted dying and seeking pastoral care.
Bill C-14, which will amend the criminal code to allow euthanasia and assisted suicide, has been passed by the House of Commons and is now before the Senate. Healthcare workers and institutions are concerned that they may be required to participate in euthanasia and assisted suicide against their moral convictions.
