A Canadian priest has twice been offered an assisted death while recovering from a hip fracture, despite being known to be opposed to euthanasia.
According to reports, the 79-year-old priest, Father Larry Holland from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, said he was not dying then or now, but that medical professionals raised the prospect of ending his life by euthanasia on more than one occasion.
“I think I was very shocked. It is such a sensitive subject”, he said, describing his reaction when a doctor raised the topic of euthanasia and assisted suicide with him.
