Pope Francis spoke to a palliative care symposium in Canada and told those seeking alternatives to euthanasia and assisted suicide that killing people is a “failure to love.”
The head of the Catholic Church said “authentic palliative care is radically different from euthanasia, which is never a source of hope or genuine concern for the sick and dying.”
“All who experience the uncertainties so often brought about by sickness and death need the witness of hope provided by those who care for them and who remain at their side,” the pope said in his message to the symposium.
