On March 17, 2021, the Senate passed Bill C-7, expanding assisted suicide, including people suffering from mental illness, and received royal assent a few hours later.
The government has two years to create protocols and safeguards to determine how to implement the law.
We are facing a growing culture of death and that’s why it’s so important that keep the conversation going! We need to help people see that our duty to the suicidal is to always prevent their suicide, never assist it.
We recommend the book, A Guide to Discussing Assisted Suicide, which provides insightful research and helpful talking points for presenting the pro-life position to others.
