There are new developments in the case of a Catholic hospital in Canada facing a lawsuit for not providing assisted suicide. The parents of a terminally ill woman say their daughter had to be transferred to another facility to be euthanized after Saint Paul's Hospital in Vancouver refused to perform the procedure. This week the parents filed a lawsuit. They want the Catholic hospital to lose its religious exemption. A hospital spokesman says Saint Paul's is committed to providing compassionate care to all patients. Executive Director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, Alex Schadenberg, joins to tell us more about this woman and how she wound up in a Catholic hospital in the first place. The family says Saint Paul's violated their daughter's "charter of rights and freedoms by not performing the euthanasia procedure". Schadenberg discusses what this charter is and whether there is a precedent for it to intersect with religious freedom. He explains what the reaction has been in Canada and whether Church leaders have said anything.
