Catholic Hospital Gears Up for Lawsuit for Refusing to End Patient's Life | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A Catholic hospital in Canada is preparing to face a lawsuit over a refusal to take part in the deliberate ending of a patient's life. Supporters of the group "Dying with Dignity Canada" are helping to mount a legal challenge against Saint Paul's Hospital in Vancouver. The Catholic medical center does not allow euthanasia, but doctor-facilitated suicide is legal in Canada and euthanasia supporters say the suit in Vancouver could be a "test case for forcing every hospital to take part." Executive Director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, Alex Schadenberg, joins to share how big this potential lawsuit is and whether it could lead the way to forcing Catholic hospitals to offer assisted suicide. Schadenberg tells us what the chances are that a lawsuit will be brought and whether it could be successful. Schadenberg fills us in on other news related to assisted suicide in Canada and the US. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
