简介
The Canadian Supreme Court has ruled that doctors can provide medical help to seriously ill people who want to end their lives. The decision reverses a ban imposed in 1993. Nick Bryant sent this report.
Doctors will now be allowed to help in specific situations and even in cases where the illness isn't terminal. The ruling centered on two women with debilitating conditions, both of whom died before it was handed down. Gloria Taylor, a campaigner for the Right to Die, had suffered from motor neuron disease. The second woman Kay Carter had travelled to Switzerland, where assisted suicide is legal, to end her life. They were posed by religious groups and Civil Liberties Association that brought the challenge has welcomed the Supreme Court ruling. They said it recognized that assisted suicide was a medical service, which brought unbearable suffering to an end.
