Leslyn Lewis on euthanasia and MAiD

So, Dr. Lewis, where do you stand on Euthanasia?
I'm very concerned.
And years ago we spoke about the slippery slope
and many people said that we were exaggerating.
And now I'm very, very concerned.
A few weeks ago, there was a
relatively young woman who was unable to
get housing because she had a disability.
And she felt that because she couldn't get subsidized housing
that she was going to seek to end her life.
And our government helped her to do that.
And I think that is wrong, that we could provide for
a person to end their life, but we can't provide housing.
And so this is where we have taken Euthanasia
and are made legislation to the point where even
our most vulnerable are at risk, because now it's
potentially going to be extended to individuals such as
teenagers who have mental health issues.
And those are people that are
in need of love and protection.
And yet we're saying that what we are willing
to do for them is to take their life
rather than give them the help and the resources
that they need to have a vibrant life.
