Symposium on Euthanasia June 8: A comparison with Belgium

The Physicians' Alliance against euthanasia is organizing a conference entitled “Medical aid in dying or euthanasia: Consequences for Quebec with a comparison to Belgium.”

We invited Dr. Georges Casteur, advisory board member of the Belgian Society of Medical Ethics and Morality, to offer his observations on 11 years of legalized euthanasia.  Dr. Patrick Vinay, of CHUM, will present Bill 52 in order to compare it with Belgian legislation.

This symposium is open to the public. It will be followed by a General Assembly of the Physicians’ Alliance, open solely for the physicians of the alliance.

Both events will take place on Sunday, June 8, from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm in the Hotel-Dieu auditorium, 3840 rue Saint -Urbain, Jeanne-Mance Pavilion, in Montreal. The symposium will begin at 1:00 pm and the General Assembly at 3:00pm.

Conferences will be held in French, with questions and discussions in both French and English.

Concerned citizens and doctors are very welcome.
