‘Serious overreach’
Dear Editor:
As a resident of Centre Wellington, I found it heartening to witness the love, concern, and community spirit evoked by the launch of the rural hospice in Aboyne on Sept. 15.
Equally disheartening was the presence of protestors bearing signs reading, “Hospice Yes - MAID No” and such.
It is a concept as old as Adam and that will forever be valid: if you do not agree with a practice, then don’t access it or partake in it.
But to place boulders of obstruction and opposition in the path of others whose beliefs are as sincere and worthwhile as one’s own is both a serious overreach and also totally unwarranted.
Allan Berry,
