Forcing all Canadian hospitals to offer MAID would be a toxic dose of intolerance
Summary
Focuses on a recent case in which a patient at St. Paul’s was denied MAiD, prompting the BC Health Minister to address the need for Catholic Health Care in BC to provide MAiD in their facilities. The article discusses eliminating faith-based healthcare institutions as a problem and is in support of its continuance. It highlights the good that Catholic institutions have done from the author's perspective. "If our civil society and legal order denies faith-based health-care facilities the freedom to pass on giving lethal injections based on the conscientious view that MAID is killing, we will have bought into not just a fundamental misunderstanding of how Canada is meant to function, but a dangerous one."
Relevance
Demonstrates how forced transfers and the absence of MAiD being provided in BC Catholic Health Institutions delegitimizes the legalization and right to MAiD in the province. It's discussion of moving towards an approach which emphasizes that MAiD should not be provided in faith-based care works to highlight the need to readdress the faults of this faith-based health care Catholic policy.
