Catholic Hospital in Canada Gives Prominent Role to Assisted Suicide Provider | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A Catholic hospital in Canada is under fire for giving a prominent role to an assisted suicide provider. Providence Hospital in Ontario named the euthanasia supporter and practitioner as Interim Director of Palliative Care. A variety of professional associations, including the Canadian Federation of Catholic Physicians, have asked hospital and church officials to intervene. The Catholic Church strongly opposes assisted suicide. Executive Director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, Alex Schadenberg, joins to share what more he knows about Dr. Danielle Kain and why this appointment is causing so much concern among groups like the Canadian Federation of Catholic Physicians. Schadenberg tells us more about Dr. Kain's job title and why having an assisted suicide supporter and practitioner would seem to go against Church teaching. He explains whether there has been any reaction from the Catholic hospitals or even Church leaders in Ontario. Schadenberg fills us in on what other stories he is following. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
