Assisted suicide opens door to abuse

One of the major arguments
used by the proponents of so-
called ‘assisted suicide’ is that the
practice is legal in Holland and
Seems to be working just fine.

It's a lie.

Not that assisted suicide isn't
legal there. It is. In fact, it's the

such a law.

But to claim it's working just
fine is to ignore the fact that
many people over 60 years-old
are carrying cards in their wallets
saying they do not want tobe
euthanized should something
happen to them that they can't

While a Senate committee in
this country studies the issue—

at risk are seniors, and adults and children with chronic heart, hung or
kidney disease, diabetes, cancer or other illnesses affecting the immune
system. An influenza vaccine is the best protection against the disease
offering 90 per cent protection. While there are occasional and slight
reactions to the vaccine such as a mild fever and discomfort, the bene-
fits far outweigh the risks. Flu strains this year are the A/Texas,
A/Shangdong/ and B/Panama.

For those at risk, there will be a free flu clinic at the St. Rita's Parish

worst in the world, in that phy-
chiatrists can now easily dispose
of their mentally ill patients.

This is what always happens
with this kind of law. Not only
are the aged and infirm being
bumped off—and the Dutch gov-
ernment admits that not all the
deaths are requested, as the law
says they are supposed to be—
but some doctors there are also
using it against newborn babies
who don’t fit somebody's idea of
a useful person.

If Canada ever adopts such a
law, and Justice Minister Allan
Rock has expressed support for
it—you can bet the same sort of
widespread abuse would happen
here too.

Fighting senior
isolation

Seniors’ groups across the
Province are being invited to
develop innovative projects that
will improve the health and inde-
pendence of B.C. seniors.

Under Health Minister Paul
Ramsey, the provincial govern-
ment is providing $120,000 to
work with the Seniors’ Health
Promotion Network, a group of
volunteer seniors from all
regions of the province.

The purpose is to renee
Projects from community-based
seniors’ groups designed to
accomplish one of the following
goals: bridge the intergenera-
tional gap; reduce the social iso-
lation of seniors; help seniors in
their caregiving role.

Groups may receive up to
$5,000 for each proposal.

“We strongly urge community
groups to address the problem of
isolation of seniors and develop
solutions, as Particpation by
seniors in the ci is cru-
cial to their helath and well-
being,” said Ramsey.

One good way of preventing
the social isolation of seniors is
by bringing seniors and young
People together. promoting sup-
port and social interaction

tion Network will review the
