What’s Wrong With Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)?

An overview of the three arguments against MAiD, current MAiD practice in Canada, and recent Catholic teaching on euthanasia was presented on Oct 9th 2024 at Holy Family church St in Moncton, by guest speaker Deacon Laurence Worthen from the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth.  

Deacon Worthen is the Executive Director of the Christian Medical and Dental Association (CMDA) of Canada.  CMDA’s mission is to engage, encourage and equip Christian doctors and dentists to integrate Faith in their professional practice, and also to help Canadian Churches evangelize on issues surrounding end of life.  In his diaconal ministry he chaired pastoral care for his parish. Deacon Larry has a Master’s in Theology from AST, as well as a Diploma in Adult Education from St FX.  He also has a Law degree from Dalhousie so is able to comment on the legal issues of MaiD as well.
