Conversation Participants Engage in Physician-Assisted Suicide and Palliative Care

Two Participants in the Canadian Interfaith Conversation – Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops and The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada – developed a Declaration on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide, which has been signed by representatives and individual members of faith communities, including Jewish and Muslim groups, across Canada. The Declaration was released at the end of October 2015, but individuals still have opportunity to sign the Declaration until May 2016.

Interfaith conversation has begun about the need for high-quality, easily-accessible palliative care as a viable option to physician-assisted suicide. For more information on how to participate in this ongoing discussion, contact Aileen Van Ginkel.
