Over half of Canadians say MAID isn't a must for religious hospitals: Poll
Summary
This article discusses the findings of a poll conducted in September 2023 that showed over 60% of Canadians think MAiD should not be forced in faith-based hospitals. "The poll found 70% of Canadians believe morally or religiously opposed health-care practitioners should make a referral if a patient asks for MAID.”
Relevance
These findings are relevant as they indicate strong public support for the retention of rights to non-participation held by faith-based institutions. Although, this is interesting because the public still believes these practitioners are required to refer the patient, which some argue is a violation of conscience rights.
