Kanadští biskupové žádají parlament, aby „rozdělil“ návrh zákona o eutanazii, a nabádají k tomu, aby nebyly povoleny předběžné žádostipřeloženo

The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) has called on the Canadian government to revise Bill C-41, the proposed Medical Assistance in Dying Safeguards Act, arguing that its provisions on advance requests for euthanasia raise serious ethical, legal, and human rights concerns.

In a parliamentary brief released Nov. 12 , the bishops urged members of Parliament to separate two distinct issues in the legislation: the permanent exclusions of mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition for eligibility for medical assistance in dying (MAID) and the proposed authorization of advance requests for euthanasia.

Návrh zákona C-41 byl předložen v parlamentu 27. října a je ve druhém čtení v Dolní sněmovně.

The CCCB also called for greater investment in palliative care, healthcare, and practical supports for people living with serious illnesses, disabilities, and declining independence.
