This has never been done before in Canada, but the Constitution does provide for it. A majority in each house is all that is required. With new judges in office, a petition could be submitted for rehearing of the case so egregiously mis-decided.John A.

Where Palliative Care is properly provided euthanasia is rarely thought of by the patient. <br />I know the intent of those pushing for the Bill was not to be an insult but they have grossly insulted all physicians and nurses across Canada who provide real palliative care.<br />The answer to the suffering is not to kill them - it's to provide proper palliative care. That's true death with dignity.<br />Laurelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-43565556991533214802015-03-21T00:53:59.815-04:002015-03-21T00:53:59.815-04:00Right to Life, Right to Die?
A person's right ...Right to Life, Right to Die?<br />A person's right to freedom is violated when they are put in jail. They may have forfeited that right by committing a crime or they may be unjustly jailed, but it is complete nonsense to say that the right to freedom includes the right to be jailed. <br />A person's right to life is violated when someone kills them. In Canada people cannot forfeit their right to life by committing a crime, but it is complete nonsense to say that the right to life includes the right to die.<br />That is nothing but a cover for people forfeiting their right to life by suffering.<br />Jule Kochnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-75008824938984597302015-03-06T22:25:52.420-05:002015-03-06T22:25:52.420-05:00I agree, but in this case I used the language of t...I agree, but in this case I used the language of the decision.Alex Schadenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649977828342637842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-69256688785333762492015-03-06T20:36:59.546-05:002015-03-06T20:36:59.546-05:00Call it assisted suicide or murder (an important p...Call it assisted suicide or murder (an important point because this will be used to cover up murder)Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952122756869483774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-58045831145998759702015-03-06T20:35:42.213-05:002015-03-06T20:35:42.213-05:00We should not use the term assisted death.
