Palliative Care Seminar
Bobby Schindler
Dr. Margaret Cottle

Dan McTeague, MP (Hon) and Pierre Lemieux, MP, in cooperation with the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada and the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition held a seminar to hear Dr. Margaret Cottle and Bobby Schindler (brother of Terri Schiavo) discuss palliative care as a positive alternative to euthanasia.

"It is said that euthanasia kills the patient twice: the first time when you look at the patient's life and say, 'Your life really isn't worth living.'  The second time is when you actually do it."
-Dr. Margaret Cottle, palliative care physician,
University of British Columbia
