On Tuesday's show:
The family of a Vancouver woman who was forced to transfer hospitals before she could receive medical assistance in dying (MAID) is suing the province and Providence Health Care, saying the Catholic health authority's policy to ban MAID in its facilities violates patients' Charter rights. We discuss the case, and ask viewers if they think hospitals should be allowed to refuse services on religious beliefs.
