April 29th, 2012 – Choice in Dying: It’s a Matter of Justice – Wanda Morris

In May 1993 the member congregations of the Canadian Unitarian Council adopted a resolution supporting choice in dying.  Almost twenty years later that support hasn’t wavered.  For many Unitarians, choice in dying is a fundamental matter of justice.  In this service Wanda Morris, the Executive Director of Dying with Dignity Canada and a long-time Unitarian, will consider the relationship between choice in dying and our Unitarian Principles and Sources.
