I suppose, if reciting the Lord's Prayer in school is having religion imposed upon us! Actually I think it just taught to be thankful for what we have. Kids today lack that.
What's your I.Q. anyway? Of course the Lord's Prayer is religious! Imposed? Hardly, no one made us recite it, it was 15 seconds in the day when you could think about whatever you wanted to. It's just one of those things that never did anyone real harm but possibly did benefit a few people. It's just not worth making a huge issue out of, any more than singing "O'Canada" at the beginning hockey game.
My parents created me. Your god is a myth, as are all the ones of other religions. Go talk to a science teacher sometime and he/she will explain the facts of life to you.
I'm not that old, and I remember starting every school day with The Lord's Prayer, and O'Canada,
and God Save The Queen.....and they all where dropped shortly after they changed the lyrics to
O'Canada about 1976 or 1977 or so.....but that's a different topic I guess.
Euthanasia. That is a touchy subject, with much fear of abuse by many assuming that someone
else will make their choice for them....be it a Doctor or a Politician...and not the terminal Patient.
We're part way there, with DNR orders and such as long as they're respected. Personally, I'm
for someone having the choice to decide for themselves when the time comes.
It is a touchy subject for sure, but the 'fears' that people have regarding them are the very reason it needs to be discussed. This is less about having the right to decide to die, it's more about having some say in how much suffering we have to endure in order to ease someone elses 'fears'.
To answer the OP.... yes, her lawsuit should be allowed to continue. To not allow it to, would be the true perversion of justice.
I haven't landed firmly on one side of the assisted suicide debate yet. There are huge questions to consider surrounding it. But one thing I do know is that the patients who are trying to push this in court, are dying. They have a statement to make surrounding that fact, they have a legal challenge for the government surrounding that fact. And it would be ridiculously easy of the government to dodge that question by simply dragging its feet. It's a uniquely time limited legal issue, and I don't think it would be fair to the the challengers involved, to be silenced by time.

I think it's one of those things that has to be judged individually on its own merits. 90 years old all organs failing........definitely, 60 years old with a treatable disease and a few mental issues mixed in ....................definitely NOT.
... thanks for the comment ...
... i've been sued twice in the same courthouse where this right-to-die petition is being heard by my dad -- AFTER HE DIED!!! this corrupt courhouse is the last place you want any important legislative decisions to be made ...
... how about someone petitioning the crown for the right to allow phony lawsuits with dead petitioners to die!
I wouldn't brag about being sued by your father's estate, it certainly makes you look bad.
... nope, in at least two instances the petitioner named in the motions against me that were heard and endorsed by the supreme court of british columbia was my deceased dad, not his estate ...
... the judge in the matter was a corrupt old buffoon by the name of justice grant d. burnyeat ...
I read all about it. You should not be proud of stealing from your father and going to court after you killed him with the stress. Certainly not becoming of someone who wants to be treated like an adult. Don't worry, I know all about the legal niceties, and it makes you look like, at best, a creep, at worst, a thief. Pick your choice, which do you want to be know as?
... you did read all about? then you know i speak the truth, tenpenny ...
... sorry i have to be the one to let you know that your government is inept and corrupt ...
... the motions in the supreme court of british columbia in which my dead dad was named were brought by two lawyers named robert w. taylor and jordan j. kinghorn of the vancouver law firm taylor veinotte sullivan ...
... yes, the bc government does allow lawyers to name dead people in their petitions and it should not be allowed ...
