A Canadian hospice leader is working to promote a new anti-euthanasia film to help raise awareness of what she calls the “predatory doctor-assisted suicide regime” of the Canadian government.
Angelina Ireland is the president of Delta Hospice Society in Delta, British Columbia. The organization, founded in 1991, is “dedicated to helping families and individuals experiencing life-threatening diagnoses, advanced illness, or bereavement” by offering palliative care and other end-of-life services.
Ireland herself is featured in the recently released film “The Story of Euthanasia,” a 43-minute documentary made by Trinitas that explores the “philosophical belief, moral conflict, and social impact concerning legalization of euthanasia and assisted suicide.” Also featured in the film is Dr. Will Johnston, a family physician from Vancouver, and Abbot Igumen Tryphon of All-Merciful Saviour Orthodox Monastery in Washington state.
“Medical assistance in dying” (MAID) became legal in Canada in 2016.
