The third of the CSA sponsored four part discussions has the topic: “Doctor Assisted Suicide”. It will be held at the BIAC Gallery in Artisan Square on Thursday, April 16th, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm.
Recent assisted death cases, here on Bowen Island and in the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision to allow an appeal by Carter et al and the BC Liberties Association, are reminders of the importance of this topic to so many. In their reasons the Justices suspended “for 12 months” the effect of Criminal Code sections 241(b) and 14 ff as “unjustifiably infringing on section 7 of the Charter (of Rights).
You are invited to a discussion on this subject, which will effect most of us at some stage in our lives. The moderator will be Judge Judith Gedye. For further information please contact Hans-Christian Behm at 604 947 9447 or hcbehm@shaw .ca.
