“The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment” Blog Tour (Day 10)

    Why Euthanasia Feels Intuitive

    Canada has gained a lot of attention in recent years due to its commitment to Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), its preferred idiom for euthanasia. Some honor Canada as groundbreaking in its commitment to bringing dignity to death while others abhor it as taking advantage of the weak, the elderly, and the vulnerable. Already euthanasia…
