Segment 2 & 3 – Canadian Doctors are Killing So Many People in Assisted Suicides, Government Tells Them to Slow Down
“An official memo has been passed on to doctors in the Canadian province of Quebec requesting they respect the limits of the law regarding assisted suicide. The warning follows a massive 54% rise in assisted suicides in Quebec between 2021 and 2022, and potentially 15 wrongful deaths. The memo, sent by Quebec’s Commission on end-of-life care, reminded doctors that assisted suicide applicants should be given time to reconsider their decision and that cases should be approved by two truly independent physicians.” Alex Schadenberg joins us to spread the word on this story.
Alex Schadenberg is one of the world’s premier opponents of euthanasia and assisted suicide. He is the co-founder and executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, founded in 1998 and based in the Canadian Province of Ontario.
