Our secular culture is playing around with death more and more as if it has the authority to make life-end decisions. Civilized people know that life is not ours to give or take. It is only barbarians who feel free to play around with life and death as if it is theirs to give or take. We've experienced this barbarian attitude for decades in connection with abortion. Long ago, it was predicted that once we're over the abortion hurdle then we'll take the next step, killing the other weak vulnerables among us, that is, the elderly and others. Those in palliative and hospices were the natural next target.
And, sure enough, it has come. At first preferred, even if illegal. Then, after some time of force and illegalities, it became legal over the dead bodies of many Christians--pardon the intended pun! And now the next step: force it on the institutions of care regardless of their values, worldview or religion.
It has been public knowledge that the progress of the West is due to its traditional Christian worldview--along with the help of humanism, which itself is just a product of Christianity. It has also been predicted that to the extent the West forsakes its Christian tradition, to the extent it will revert back to its pagan past. The issues of abortion and euthanasia are the direct result of this reversion process.
The notice below is reaching you too late, I'm afraid. I saw it just now, five minutes ago. Nevertheless I pass it on so you can become more familiar, more shocked and more involved in stopping this slide into barbarianism. It's coming; have no doubt. It's just dressed in the impressive dress of modern science that hides the true horror it is.
Well, read and take whatever action or join whatever organization or movement in your neck of the woods you can. But first, read this:

Subject: Important event on Saturday
Dear BC Friends,
Fraser Health is now forcing non-denominational palliative care providers and hospices to offer euthanasia. That means that organizations devoted to caring are now being instructed to assist withsuicide. Many of our readers will be familiar with Dr. Neil Hilliard, the medical director of Fraser Health’s palliative care program, who was featured in ARPA’s palliative care documentary. In light of this decision, Dr. Hilliard has resigned from his position.
Although this decision comes from Fraser Health, the developments are not limited to the Fraser Valley. News reports indicate that at least two other regions in the province are placing similar expectations on the palliative care providers.
In light of these developments, Langley ARPA is organizing an event, to be held on Saturday. More information is in their update below. We strongly encourage you to attend and bring this event to the attention of others!
With just a couple of days to go, we are not able to advertise this broadly and need your assistance. Please email and phone your friends and family, and especially those who you know are connected to care-giving or would have an interest in this. This includes people from other churches and organizations. If you are from outside of Langley, consider organizing a van or car load and get as many folks out as possible for this important event.
Dear Fraser Valley ARPA members and friends,
This Saturday the Langley ARPA chapter will be hosting a number of speakers including MP Mark Warawa, MLA Mary Polack, Langley Hospice Executive Director Nancy Panchuk, and former Medical Director of the Fraser Health Palliative Care Program Dr. Neil Hilliard to discuss the sudden mandate by Fraser Health requiring all Fraser Valley Hospice to provide euthanasia as part of hospice palliative care programs.
Many Hospice medical professionals, volunteers, and donors are absolutely opposed to this directive and are pushing back. Delta Hospice Executive Director Nancy Macey recently told the Vancouver Sun, "the pressure to provide MAiD everywhere is a bullying tactic of the Dying With Dignity activists." Dr. Hilliard stated in his resignation letter that "providing euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide is not in accordance with palliative care (which) "affirms life and regards dying as a normal process...". MP Mark Warawa recently submitted a letter to the Fraser Health Board saying that "requiring hospice palliative care facilities to hasten the death of a patient through the use of assisted suicide and euthanasia directly contradicts this recognized mandate and social licence of hospice facilities, healthcare professionals and volunteers that are supported and funded by generous donors in our communities."
Please join us on Saturday, February 10 at 8 pm for a panel discussion on the next steps in the battle to keep Hospice from becoming lethal!
Where: Credo Christian High school, 21846 52 Ave, Langley, BC
When: Saturday, February 10 at 8:00 p.m. in the Gymnasium
Hosted by: Langley ARPA Chapter
