Pope Francis on Wednesday reiterated
the Catholic Church's opposition to assisted suicide, saying the
right to death does not exist.
Speaking during his weekly general audience in the Vatican, the
Argentine pontiff said we must be grateful for the palliative
care offered by modern medicine, but warned against an
"unacceptable drifts towards euthanasia.
"We must accompany people towards death but not provoke death or
facilitate assisted suicide," the pope said.
"Life is a right, not death, which must be welcomed not
administered".
