Euthanasia in Canada: A True Story.

Recently, the Pillar reported:  "Nine years ago, the Canadian government legalized a Medical Assistance in Dying program, making physician assisted suicide widely accessible across Canada for those who qualified for the program.  To date, roughly 75,000 people have died from MAiD, including many Catholics." Now, I don't really like the current medical definitions for active euthanasia vs. passive euthanasia, but here's the basics of the vocabulary that weak bioethicists throw around today: Active euthanasia involves deliberately causing a patient's death, while passive euthanasia involves withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment, allowing the patient to die naturally. The problem with their definition is that both are murder, which is why I don't [...]

The “Pontifical Academy for Life” Now Allows Euthanasia?

Photo Credit at top:  "Pontifical Academy for Life." A new article at Crux is titled Vatican loosens stance on food, water for patients in vegetative state.  It reports on the "Pontifical Academy for Life" which just released an 80 page pamphlet in Italian nearly eliminating past parameters on end-of-life issues.   Shockingly, even the USCCB admits that pamphlet contains "an evolution of church teaching" on end-of-life issues.  If by "evolution" we mean a moral descent beneath how pagans know how to treat their elders, then that is accurate. Now, according to Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, president of the "Pontifical Academy for Life," (all three words being false by this point) their [...]
