“Assisted dying is the focal point for this case. But the case has implications beyond that,” said Jocelyn Downie, a professor emeritus in the faculty of law and medicine at the University of Dalhousie, who has spent years researching health delivery at religious-run health networks across Canada.

“Canadians need to recognize that they can be denied care much beyond assisted dying,” Downie said.

“There’s all kinds of care that they could be denied because governments are allowing faith-based institutions that are publicly funded… to deny care based on their religious beliefs and values.”

    By definition evidence-based-medicine is supposed to be evidence, not belief, based.

    Criminalize all authority-based medicine gaslighting about being evidence-based medicine,

    criminalize ideology-contradicting-evidence based “medicine” being state-backed.

    criminalize scientific-fraud, too, or the other-2 don’t even have any valid basis.


    IF you want to do your belief/ideology/authority based “medicine”, then you pay for it out of your own church or your own pocket.


    Get all ideological gaslighting out from government-services!!
