Euthanasia: A Warning from Canada.
Thursday 3rd October, 7.30 – 9pm, Gillis Centre, 100 Strathern Road, Edinburgh EH9 1BB

Learn how Assisted Suicide has failed in Canada, and what you can do to stop it in Scotland.

Alex Schadenberg is a Catholic from Canada and a world expert on the dangers of euthanasia. He's coming to Scotland 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.

At this in-person event, organised by the Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh and Care Not Killing, 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 information to put to your MSPs and others to explain why “assisted dying” proposals are so dangerous to the most vulnerable people in Scotland.
