International Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide Conference an Impressive Event
TORONTO, December 3, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - At the first International Symposium on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide in Toronto this past weekend there was a true coalition of diverse individuals with often diametrically opposed views on abortion, faith, homosexuality and other issues. However, they were all generally united in the common belief that the world has now entered a very dangerous phase of increasingly approved killing of people with disabilities, seriously ill and otherwise vulnerable persons via euthanasia or assisted suicide.
There were religious people, atheists, pro-life leaders fighting abortion and others strongly in favour of abortion, pro-family and pro-homosexual advocates. However, those issues were largely set aside for most of the two day conference as some of the very best speakers made awesome presentations on the issues they all came to discuss - euthanasia, assisted suicide and directly related other issues, such as the wide variety of definitions of brain death.
