Euthanasia and the danger that it will be legalized in Canada will be discussed at a coffee and dessert evening being hosted by Halton Pro-Life’s neighbour, Hamilton Right to Life, on Thursday February 11. The main speaker is Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition.

The event will be held at 7 p.m. in the Nicholas Mancini Centre, 44 Hunt Street, Hamilton, (behind the Christ the King Cathedral on King Street, just before the ramp to the 403).

The debate in Parliament on the Bill (C-384) has been delayed by prorogation. Alex says that this gives us time to contact MPs again. Some MPs oppose the Bill because they believe it lacks sufficient safeguards against abuse, not because they oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide in principle.
