I'm ashamed to post about the debate on assisted suicide which has been reopened again. To say nothing of the fact that Pierre Trudeau gave the right to make laws to the judiciary! Canadians have no say in this country!
Supreme Court hears impassioned pleas to end ban on assisted suicide (with video)
"The nine justices of the Supreme Court heard impassioned pleas for overturning Canada’s absolute prohibition against assisted suicide, with proponents arguing laws that consider the act tantamount to murder are a violation of personal autonomy and infringe on section 7 of the Criminal Code that provides for “life, liberty and security of the person.”
The issue has taken on new urgency in the two decades since the Supreme Court, in 1993, narrowly denied Sue Rodriguez the right to doctor-assisted death. Boomers are confronting their own mortality, as well as that of their aging parents, and social mores appear to be moving in one direction, observers say, with polls suggesting mounting support for assisted suicide."
