Life Network Foundation expresses deep concern over the Maltese government’s proposal to introduce voluntary euthanasia. While framed as a compassionate choice under strict conditions, euthanasia is not care, but the deliberate termination of a human life. True care means standing by those who are suffering, ensuring they receive the dignity, comfort, and support they deserve in their final days.

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Fir-raba’ Ħadd tal-Għid, kull sena dejjem niftakru fil-Mulej bħala r-Ragħaj tagħna. Hi espressjoni sabiħa li smajna wkoll fit-tieni qari llum mill-Ktieb tal-Apokalissi: “il-Ħaruf li hemm f’nofs it-tron, ikun ir-ragħaj tagħhom; u jwassalhom ħdejn ilmijiet tal-għejun tal-ħajja.
