Suddenly hospital transfers are an issue ?
The author is critical of the controversy surrounding hospital transfers and why they are being seen as problematic in cases of MAiD. It is compared to a jaw surgery case in which the patient was transferred to another hospital to receive their care. It is argued that transfers are not a problem because they are done in the best interest of the paient.
"Today, the widespread unavailability of certain procedures at particular hospitals is not of interest to the media, unless the procedure is euthanasia."

Forcing all Canadian hospitals to offer MAID would be a toxic dose of intolerance
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."
