Even political enemies should show respect for the dead. That respect, however, needn’t result in an inappropriate exaltation of one who damaged the world as much as Norman Bethune did. Many of us have made mistakes in our lives; we have said and done things we later wish we could unsay or undo. I don’t know whether Norman Bethune ever gained enough understanding of the world to regret helping Mao Tse-Tung conquer China and unleash the slaughter of 60 million Chinese. But I regret that a Canadian should have been a supporter of that slaughter.

Received via email…
Yesterday afternoon (September 6), Pastor Joshua (Kulendran Mayandy) passed away. We mourn his death, yet his death was not in vain.
The death of Joshua Mayandy represents a wake up call for everyone who believes in the equality and dignity of all human life.
We first reported on this story here.
Received via email Sept. 3 from the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition…
A week ago, the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition was successful in helping the friends of Joshua (Kulendran Mayandy) gain permission to have Joshua orally fed. Joshua was then able to feed orally without complications, but any other form of feeding (IV or otherwise) continued to be denied. We helped by organizing legal and medical support and a media response to his case throughout North America.

Important update – Quebec group launches English language website.
I received an email from Linda Couture, the director of the newly formed grassroots group – Living with Dignity (Vivre dans la Dignité) now has their English website online. Linda and her team have done fabulous work to organize such a strong response to the Quebec government.

Parliamentarians in Ottawa who are concerned about the threat of euthanasia and assisted suicide have formed a multi-party committee on Palliative and Compassionate Care (PCPCC). The committee is co-chaired by Conservative MP Harold Albrecht (Kitchener-Conestoga), Liberal MP Michelle Simson (Scarborough Southwest) and NDP MP Joe Comartin (Windsor-Tecumseh).

Excerpts from ChrGov’s Brief to Quebec’s Dying With Dignity Committee
What is Dignity?
Before we can talk about dying with dignity, we need to decide what we mean by dignity.
Human dignity is rooted in the uniqueness of mankind.
