If they want to make their own rules fine. Cut off the public funding. They can go their own way.

Agreed. A church-owned hospital isn't obligated to provide services that conflict with the church's dogma.
Petros, if you want to discuss this we can, but ifn' your game is to play the pigeon on a chess board, I'm not interested.
Look, there is an obvious reason they said no way in their 120 Canadian healthcare facilities because they own and operate them. There is no game Missy. Just fact.
All hospitals in Canada are public non profit institutions.
And we are so fortunate because of that.

the Catholic hospitals in BC are governed by Providence Health care and they are a non-profit organization, providing services in partnership with the Vancouver Coastal Health and the Provincial Health Services Authority.
Their accountability is to the public they serve.
PROVIDENCE HEALTH CARE OPERATIONS
Per their website:
Our organization operates under an agreement between the Province of British Columbia and the Denominational Health Association. The agreement recognizes the rights of owners of denominational care facilities to own, manage and operate their respective facilities and carry out their respective religious missions. It obligates the owners to meet provincial standards and national accreditation for health care, meet the conditions of any agreements with teaching facilities and plan and deliver health care services in collaboration with other health bodies.
Providence Health Care have stated regarding doctor assisted death that:
that while the organization currently forbids the practice, it will monitor and conform to the law as it takes shape. Providence operates 10 facilities, including St. Paul's, the only hospital in Vancouver's West End.
My understanding is that since they are funded by the gov't of Canada, they must abide by the rules of the land regardless of what their religious convictions. Just like any other religion must abide by the rules of the land in which it resides.
A doctor does not have to provide the services, but the hospital itself can not prevent another non RCC doctor from being involved. Not all employees at those particular hospitals are of that religious persuasion and the hospital is not allowed to discriminate against any other faith or lack of faith.

Why fight the wishes of those who want to die.
I understand that we need to protect the weakest in our society but really, is there anyway to avoid death. Won't we all need to face it.
Why not on our own terms.j
