A Catholic priest recovering from a hip fracture at Vancouver General Hospital says he was offered medical assistance in dying (MAID) twice as a future option in case his situation worsened, according to a report from The B.C. Catholic.
Father Larry Holland, 79, said a physician and a nurse raised the option while he was recovering from injuries sustained in a fall on Christmas Day last year, despite his condition not being considered terminal and despite his having expressed opposition to euthanasia as a Roman Catholic.
