Euthanasia Supporters Delay The Vote On C-384

This is not the first time they try to save C-384 from being defeated by delaying the vote. The new scheduled date for the debate on C-384 is Tuesday, February 2, 2010 with the vote taking place on February 3. Obviously they are trying to win some more time, but, judging from the letter I received from my MP, Brian Murphy, there aren't that many Liberal MPs they can count on. Hopefully, the bill still gets defeated, despite the euthanasia supporters' attempts to win some more time.

From the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition e-mail update:

Remember: C-384 gives medical practitioners the right to directly and intentionally cause the death of their patients, if the patient “appears to be lucid”, and is suffering chronic physical or mental pain or is terminally ill. That means that a person who is not terminally ill but “appears to be lucid” and is living with chronic depression can be directly and intentionally killed by a medical practitioner.

We need to maintain the political pressure on every MP in Canada. We need you to send hand-written letters to your MP or to every MP.

You can read my commentary on Rom Houben, the Belgium man who was misdiagnosed as PVS for 23 years. This is a very important issue considering how Terri Schiavo died in 2005. Link to my article at: http://alexschadenberg.blogspot.com/2009/11/siginificance-of-case-of-man-who-for-23.html
