From the CornwallFreeNews:

For my second column for the Cornwall FreeNews, I thought about picking a lighter topic.

But honestly, where's the fun in that?


Assisted Suicide and Pandora’s Box by Craig Carter Edwards – June 25, 2012

“All we have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to us.”
- Gandalf, Lord of the Rings

CFN – B.C Supreme Justice Lynn Smith has ruled that assisted suicide is legal. In her ruling, Smith argues existing provisions in the Criminal Code that make assisted suicide illegal are an infringement against an individual’s rights to life, liberty and security of person. In her view, right to life seems to include right to death; liberty includes the ability to impose the ultimate limitation on oneself and security includes the ability to permanently protect oneself against pain.

If you haven’t guessed yet, I’m not in favour.
