Care not Killing, the most excellent way: a Christian Examination of MAiD
Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) is one of the most pressing and controversial issues of our day. The Council of West Vancouver Baptist Church invites you to become informed and give input into actions that we can all take to protect the vulnerable.
This will be an interactive presentation with a lot of rhetorical questions because she wants those attending to really think about the issues in a broader context, not just "gather information."
Presented by Margaret Cottle, MD, CCFP (PC)
