Euthanasia: A Warning from Canada

« All Events

October 3 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

FREE

Alex Schadenberg is a Catholic from Canada and a world expert on the dangers of euthanasia.

He is coming to Scotland in October to explain why mistakes in Canada could easily happen in here.

In Canada, as with all euthanasia laws, they started with “strict safeguards” which were then widened so that a Canadian veteran was offered euthanasia when what she really wanted was a wheelchair lift. And funding has been cut for hospices who refuse to take part in euthanasia.

This could happen in Scotland if the "Assisted Dying" Bill is passed in the Scottish Parliament.

Alex will tell you what went wrong in Canada, and how to stop it in Scotland.

By the end of the talk you’ll have lots of info to put to your MSPs and others to explain why “assisted dying” proposals are so dangerous to the most vulnerable people in Scotland.

This event is presented in partnership with Care Not Killing: https://carenotkilling.scot/
