Thank you for the valuable work done by CPSA to ensure all Albertans receive a reliable standard of medical care when we need it so we can live well. I support freedom of conscience rights for our doctors to not make referrals which lead to harm, or death, or even encourage their patients to believe that ending life is a best choice. As an occasional patient in our health system, I need to know my doctor cares to help me and will refer me to professionals who will help and encourage me to get up and go again.
Practically, this protection of our hard working doctors will encourage physicians to stay here and provide their skills and expertise without having to consider moving to other places which offer freedom of conscience rights. And, making medical care access even more difficult to obtain. Thank you for letting me give input.
