“Protect doctors’ conscience rights!” Belgium’s advice to Canada
Three doctors speak out
Three Belgian doctors who disagree with euthanasia speak out. Watch for one outstanding anecdote from Dr Benoit Beuselinck, an oncologist.
The second of three promotional videos for Vulnerable - The Euthanasia Deception
These were some of the stories in my news feed last week:
“Italy’s Parliament voted Wednesday in favor of a new law legalizing same-sex civil unions” (Slate). “A victory for Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, who supported the bill” (New York Times). “It's the last country in Western Europe to do so” (NPR).
It all sounded like a triumph for democracy. But then I read a phrase in The Economist – “Polls show that most Italians still oppose same-sex marriage”. Huh? Did I miss something or has the Italian democratic process steamrolled Italian democracy?
In a story below Chiara Bertoglio explains how political expedience and Machiavellian deal-making explain how Italian legislators blew a raspberry to the people they represent.
