A great many Canadians are alarmed – and perhaps discouraged – by the legalization and expansion of euthanasia (“medical assistance in dying”) in Canada. What can those who affirm the dignity and value of every human life, no matter how fragile, do in the face of what has been called a “culture of death”? This talk will report on the reality of “MAiD” today and briefly review the key points of Catholic teaching on authentic end-of-life care. But the focus will be to encourage and inspire, drawing attention to real life “snapshots of hope” – initiatives, resources, and witnesses that are contributing to a true Culture of Life, here and now!
