Coming Events

Medically Assisted Dying and the Law

What Sue Rodriguez started, Gloria Taylor is determined to finish.

In this informative and engaging session you'll learn about:

· the laws governing assisted dying in Canada and around the world;

· Canadian court rulings on assisted dying, and

· the right to die challenge brought forward by Gloria Taylor

and the BC Civil Liberties Association.

In 1993, Sue Rodriguez asked the Supreme Court of Canada for the right to

medically-assisted dying so that she would have a peaceful way to end her suffering.

The Supreme Court ruled against her then, by a 5-4 decision.

A lot has changed in the last two decades. This November, a challenge brought by

BC Civil Liberties, Gloria Taylor and others is coming before the BC Supreme court.

Whoever loses will undoubtedly appeal the case to the

Supreme Court of Canada so this case will ultimately impact all Canadians.
