TORONTO, January 28, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - LifeSite has learned that the Ontario Trillium Foundation, an agency of the Ministry of Culture has provided the pro-euthanasia group 'Dying with Dignity' (DWD) $177,800 over three years to create a pilot counselling program in Toronto. However, counselling to commit suicide is illegal in Canada. Section 241 of the Criminal Code reads: "Everyone who (a) counsels a person to commit suicide, or (b) aids or abets a person to commit suicide, is guilt of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 14 years."
Marilynne Seguin, the Canadian assisted-suicide activist and founder of "Dying With Dignity", killed herself in 1999 in the presence of a doctor with a lethal drug concoction. Seguin, a nurse, fought for the "right to die" for twenty years. She boasted of having "counselled" over 2000 patients. While she did not admit to actually administering lethal drugs she said that she was present for over 350 suicides or assisted suicides.
DWD continues Seguin's form of 'counselling' and pedals her book 'A Gentle Death' on its website.
The Trillium Foundation receives annually $100 million of government funding generated from Ontario's charity casino initiative.
