She said: ‘‘We still have widespread discrimination on the basis of gender, ethnicity, religious belief and sexual orientation…My responsibility as UN High Commissioner is…specifically to include women’s […]

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Rita Wolfe, mother of a disabled child responds to reporters outside the Supreme Court on the murder of Tracy Latimer. “Do you know what it’s like to hear that killing your child is an act of love when love is what it takes to wake up with new energy every morning to give care and comfort to a child who needs it and who is absolutely dependent on her parents?” Love bears all.

LATIMER LIKELY TO SERVE ONLY 1 YEAR

OTTAWA, Nov 10 (LSN) – Justice Minister Anne McLellan told reporters last week that she and the federal Justice Department were considering granting Robert Latimer a lenient penalty for his second-degree murder conviction. This deplorable course of action was recommended by a 1995 Senate committee report that called for the creation of a new category of murder to cover cases of non-voluntary euthanasia. McLellan also said that the federal government had no intention of legalizing either euthanasia or assisted suicide. However, in October of 1996 delegates to the Liberal party’s national convention voted 385-281 in favour of repealing Section 241(b) […]

The law allows a doctor to prescribe a lethal dose of drugs to a person deemed terminally ill with less than six months to live, on request of that person. The Roman Catholic Church and pro-life groups in Oregon challenged the law before it took effect and a judge placed it on hold in December 1994, before eventually ruling it unconstitutional. However, his ruling was overturned by an appeals court and the U.S. Supreme Court refused last […]
