If Ms. Lalonde has her way, Canadian doctors will soon be able to routinely kill patients who suffer from severe physical or mental pain, or have a terminal illness. Read her private members bill here. Write to your MP and voice your concern! Find your MP using this link and your postal code.
Ms Lalonde`s Bill C-384 states that anyone over 18 years of age who suffers from sever physical or mental pain or is terminally ill can ask for and receive an assisted death, so long as they ask in writing twice and at least ten days apart. I can just see the vultures of death hovering over the patients they think are a strain on the health-care system, pen and paper in hand, coercing them to sign their “ìnformed” consent.
The government has no business deciding when people should die. Those who are suffering from depression and dementia are at extreme risk with this bill. They should be helped and protected, not walked to their grave.
There is a really good blog post here on this subject, complete with sample letters and other ideas you can implement to make a difference.

About Me
- paramedicgirl
- A paramedic who loves her job, but first and foremost, a traditional Catholic who recognizes the tremendous grace and privilege of belonging to the Catholic faith. And yes, I use Canadian spelling. Humour, centre, colour and such. If you think it's spelled wrong, it's just the Canadian way!
In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph
Prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas for thanksgiving after Holy Communion
Workman's prayer to St. Joseph
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.

O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of your departed servant Joe. Be not severe in your judgement, but let some drops of Your Precious Blood fall upon him, and send, O merciful Savior, Your angels to conduct him to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.

Consecrated Hands
"Because out of reverence towards this sacrament, nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this sacrament." - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, Summa Theologica

Euthanasia bills seem to be all over the world here. At the moment some politicians are trying to get it legalized in Tasmania.
Since most of the western world is in a demographic winter, I worry that Euthanasia laws will be a way that Govt try and solve the problems.
