There are better ways to help the sufferer than killing the sufferer, Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher has said.
Sharing his life experience in a special interview with Archdiocese of Perth Communications Manager Jamie O’Brien, Archbishop Fisher said the laws of euthanasia and abortion are heartbreaking.
“Whatever religious system or philosophy
someone is ascribed to, there is a common ground of humanity. This would tell

totally against human dignity,” Archbishop Fisher said.
Archbishop Fisher said that there are better ways to help the sufferer than
