New Brunswick Right To Life is urging the provincial government to hold public hearings surrounding federal legislation on assisted dying.
President Elizabeth Crouchman says more clarity is needed and more safeguards need to be put in place.
Crouchman wants to know who will be allowed to receive doctor assisted death.
She says it would be “simpler, even though no one will admit to it”, due to a lack of space in nursing homes and chronically ill people who have been waiting in the hospital for years.
Crouchman calls it “death without permission”, and a “form of murder” and worry’s for people who are unable to give consent or people suffering from mental illnesses.
The New Brunswick Right To Life organization will be holding a town hall of its own in Fredericton sometime next month to let the public voice their questions and concerns.
