Should those who object to the practice of euthanasia for religious reasons have a say in whether or not Canada expands or restricts the current law? The answer is yes. The purpose of God’s commandments are to protect people at their most vulnerable. People experiencing vulnerabilities are less safe in our healthcare system when there is the constant temptation to take one’s life through euthanasia. This law affects each of us, our families, and our neighbours. As St. John Paul II said, “The Church proposes; she imposes nothing”. Christians have a responsibility to speak out on these issues and should also have the right.
