Policy could force 42 Nova Scotia physicians out of practice

A policy passed by the medical regulator in Nova Scotia in May 2024 requires physicians to participate in MAiD. 42 Nova Scotia physicians have indicated that they cannot follow the policy that forces them to refer patients for euthanasia and advise patients when they might qualify. 8 other Canadian jurisdictions have found ways around this problem.

According to the Church, Catholic physicians can not refer patients for euthanasia because to do so would violate the dignity of the human person. Please use go to bit.ly/24NSRegulator to make your MLA aware of the problem and ask them to help with a resolution.
