As an Ottawa Citizen article this week reports, she’s the daughter of an Ottawa man who died last month after a doctor at the Ottawa Hospital won the right to withhold life-prolonging treatment.
Canadian judge affirms systemic judicial idolatry
“In a sense we have become the new priests of civil society, as we make decisions about gay marriage, euthanasia and abortion. We hand down decisions on highly controversial issues with intrinsic moral content and very broad moral implications. We have become the instruments of governance in the broadest sense. We now define the socio-economic basis of society.” – Judge Michel Robert (Schmitz 2004:1), concerning the role played by the supreme court judges.

Ontario Premier Says No Euthanasia Debate
By Thaddeus M. Baklinski
TORONTO – Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty said he is not in favor of Quebec-style public hearings on euthanasia and assisted suicide, according to an Ottawa Citizen report. “That’s not the kind of thing we’re looking at pursuing in a formal way,” McGuinty said. “I think that continues to be an important discussion between families and their doctors, and that’s where it should be.”

Brampton pastor saved from euthanasia, but he may still die
We first reported on this story here.
Received via email Sept. 3 from the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition…
A week ago, the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition was successful in helping the friends of Joshua (Kulendran Mayandy) gain permission to have Joshua orally fed. Joshua was then able to feed orally without complications, but any other form of feeding (IV or otherwise) continued to be denied. We helped by organizing legal and medical support and a media response to his case throughout North America.
