You went into medicine to be a
healer and not a killer? Tough! Thou shalt kill.
Those are not the exact words,
but they are certainly the gist of what Quebec's Minister of Health is
threatening in the face of a palliative care center declaring it would not
euthanize patients. From the CTV News
story:
Terminally ill patients in
Quebec who seek medical aid in dying must be provided with the service even if
some doctors are against it, Quebec's health minister said Wednesday
Gaetan Barrette called out
uncooperative doctors and directors of institutions in the province's health
care network Wednesday after a palliative care unit in Montreal announced it
wouldn't offer the service. Quebec's right-to-die law comes into effect on Dec.
10 and Barrette says the patient will be the priority. "The role of
(medical) institutions is to offer the service," he said. "And it
will be offered."
But Quebec radically changed
that role. And now it seeks to impose a duty to kill on doctors, under the
threat of medical martyrdom.
Requiring anyone to commit
homicide who has not joined the military or police is a profound violation of
human rights. I hope there is an international court or tribunal to which
dissenting MDs in Quebec can appeal their being dragooned into the euthanasia
squad.
