Euthanasia Prevention Coalition

The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC) offers condolences to the family of  Susan Griffiths. Griffiths died by assisted suicide in Switzerland. We  understand the fear that Griffiths had for her future, but it would be dangerous  to give a group of people (physicians), the right in law to intentionally cause  death, even if the person asks to die. Legalizing euthanasia and/or assisted  suicide would have significant negative consequences for society.

This is a good time to write to your local newspaper, national media or your  Member of Parliament.

The push to legalize euthanasia through the back-door in Quebec can be stopped.

A coalition of groups have organized the Springtime March against euthanasia on May 18 in Quebec City under the banner Euthanasia in Quebec? No  Thanks! We are encouraging everyone to visit Quebec City and attend the  Springtime March on May 18. More information here.

Save Saturday November 9 on your calendar for the EPC national  conference. This year we are organizing a conference with a media training  session. The national conference will be held at the Marriott in downtown  Toronto.

The book: Exposing Vulnerable People to Euthanasia and Assisted  Suicide has sold incredibly well. A few months ago, the book was  published in Australia by Connor Publishing. Currently it is being translated  into Spanish and now we have approved the request for it to be published in the  UK.  Purchase Exposing Vulnerable People for $20.

The Life-Protecting Power of Attorney for Personal Care has been edited and published in its 5^th edition. The Life-Protecting  Power of Attorney is a legal document that is designed to protect you when you  are incompetent and unable to make medical decisions for yourself. Every week we  respond to people who are concerned about the care (lack of) that a friend or  family member is receiving. Purchase the Life-Protecting Power of Attorney for $25.

EPC received a legal bill of more than $40,000 in our intervention at the BC  Court of Appeal in the Carter case, the case that seeks to legalize  euthanasia and assisted suicide. We still have $30,000 remaining to pay on  the legal bill. Please consider making a generation donation towards the  cost of our intervention in the Carter case.

This month, EPC is sending a copy of the book: After the Error: Speaking out about patient safety to save lives to people who donates $100 or more. This book features 16 stories about people who experienced a  medical error, or suspiciously died in hospital. This book provides information  on how to protect yourself and evidence as to why euthanasia or assisted suicide  should not be legalized.

EPC needs your continued support. Please consider becoming a monthly or  regular donor by credit  card or cheque.
