Amanda Achtman of Dying to Meet You and Canadian Physicians for Life joins David Hahn to discuss euthanasia in Canada, which she says now accounts for one in 20 deaths, and a law that one disability advocate warns has made Canadians with disabilities "a killable class". She argues that a request for euthanasia is less a desire to die than a disappointment, and sets out how parishes can build a culture of care for the elderly, the grieving and the sick.
