Bishops express concern over 'assisted dying' laws Archbishop Richard Gagnon, The president of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops has written a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressing the Canadian Bishops serious concern regarding the government’s plan to expand euthanasia law. He urged the Government of Canada to undertake a more extensive, thorough, impartial, and prolonged consultation on the question, in order to ensure all pertinent factors – social, medical, and moral – are carefully and thoroughly considered. Archbishop Richard Gagnon said that the government’s attempt to expand euthanasia to include advance directives, as well as extending it to situations in which death is not reasonably foreseeable, is deeply troubling. The Archbishop said we should promote a society in which human life would be received and treated as a gift, and supported in the face of physical, emotional and spiritual vulnerability and suffering.
