U.K. Cardinal O'Brien: ‘Don’t kill your granny’

The good Cardinal reminds us to respect life from conception to natural death.

Cardinal Keith O'Brien has called for opponents of assisted suicide to fight under the slogan "Don't kill your granny" ahead of renewed attempts to legalise euthanasia in Britain.

His comments followed a warning from medical professionals that a new system of end-of-life care which was being introduced across the country amounted to "backdoor euthanasia".

At a homily for an anniversary Mass for Blessed Teresa of Calcutta at St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, Britain's only active cardinal warned about the "threats to life" near its beginning and end.

He said the public "must be increasingly alert and alive to the threats to life, particularly of the elderly and the critically ill, some near the point of death".
