Protecting Life Last week's B.C. Supreme Court ruling strike down the country's Euthanasia law "sadly reflects a distorted view of equality rights that emphasizes autonomy over human dignity and the value of life," says Archbishop J. Michael Miller. "True liberty means the freedom to live one's life secure in the knowledge that those who care for us are in dedicated to the service of life, not the taking of life... The result is euthanasia harms not only those who lives are taken, but those responsible for taking them." It demands that we respond as Catholics. Please contact federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson and your Member of Parliament, urging that the decision be appealed. For more info, please go to www.rcav.org.
