Death Doula wants to establish euthanasia sanctuary.


Alex Schadenberg
Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition

An article by Reagan Spencer that was published by DundasToday concerns Renee Moor, who operates the Journey Home death doula charity that is raising $500,000 to establish a euthanasia "sanctuary". Spencer states:
Renee Moor, who is originally from Dundas, is a Buddhist psychotherapist, a certified death doula, and the founder and executive director of Journey Home for Empowered Living and Dying. Journey Home is a registered charity which offers many services surrounding death and dying, to help members of the community plan for a more positive death.
Spencer reports that Journey Home, which also offers Death Doula certification program, offers their death doula service, which includes euthanasia, for free.
Currently, Journey Home is seeking to create the first “sanctuary” in Ontario for those seeking medical assistance in dying (MAiD).

MAiD is the process through which an individual can legally choose to end their own life, through the assistance of a medical professional.
On the opposite end of the euthanasia spectrum, the Delta Hospice Society is working to establish a euthanasia free sanctuary. The Delta Hospice Society asked the British Columbia Ministry of Health for permission to create a stand alone privately funded euthanasia free hospice. The BC Ministry of Health simply, did not respond to the request.

The Delta Hospice Society responded by seeking a location outside of British Columbia, such as Alberta, with the hope of establishing a euthanasia free, privately funded hospice. 

If you know of a possible location for a euthanasia free hospice, contact the Delta Hospice Society at: info@deltahospice.org

You know you are living in a world gone mad when the gvt will fund death on request (and they hide the reality of pain/torture by this method of dying) and not fund compassionate care till your natural end.

There is a Journey Home Hospice in Toronto that is palliative care near St. Michael’s Cathedral. They shouldn’t be allowed to use the same name and confuse people.

I believe you have a typo. The correct spelling is ghoula.

That's interesting that she's from Dundas ON. The MaidHouse address on their charitable website comes back to Dundas ON, as an address on their charity listsing, as of early 2024....So now we know who's actually running that.
