Physician-assisted suicide, a necessity in Canada?

The Canadian Supreme Court recently decided to revisit a past legislation that will make doctor assisted suicide legal for specific circumstances such as terminal illness. This is a huge step forward after the famous denial of Sue Rodriguez, a patient suffering from ALS, Lou Gehrig’s disease, in 1993. A court decided what Mrs. Rodriguez should do with her life, and the outcome was that law controls an individual’s personal choice to die. As a society, if we prevent people from deciding their own time of death, we prolong ignorance, suffering and only attribute to our own selfishness.
