How Merciful? Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide

The second booklet in THE [ACTIVATE] SERIES came out this year and is entitled "How Merciful? Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide". There's no tip-toeing around the issues with EFC! The booklet looks at what's happening in other countries in the hope that Canada will not make the same mistakes. In Belgium, "the practice was legalized primarily in an effort to try to stop or decrease the number of acts of euthanasia because several thousand people were being illegally euthanized each year. Abuses continue to occur with atrocities such as one labelled the 'weekend cleanup' at one Belgian hospital where elderly and seriously ill patients are routinely administered legal drugs at the request of family members burdened with their care." www.evangelicalfellowship.ca/NetCommunity/SSLPage.aspx?pid=734&nccsm=21&__nccssubcid=26&__nccsct=Euthanasia+and+Assisted+Suicide&__nccspID=962
