Catholic hospitals and medical assistance in dying The Current

Samantha O'Neill chose medical assistance in dying last year, facing terminal cervical cancer and excruciating pain. But her Catholic hospital in B.C. opposes MAID and refuses to provide it, forcing O’Neill to be transferred elsewhere. Her father Jim O'Neill is now suing the hospital’s operator and the province, saying Samantha’s transfer caused unnecessary pain and denied his daughter a dignified death.
