According to the plaintiff father, his daughter is not competent to review and make such a weighty decision.
In Canada, the number of citizens choosing euthanasia has risen noticeably in recent years. The judge who gave permission for the "merciful death" of a 27-year-old woman now referred to the fact that, although he understands the pain of a father raising his autistic daughter, he believes that the young woman's individual decision about her own life is a stronger right, reports Euronews , which is Mandiner watched.
The paper reported that Judge Colin Feasby acknowledged in his ruling that a doctor-assisted death would cause the father "deep and devastating grief" but said that
the young woman's right to end her own life overrides the father's feelings.
On the other hand, according to the plaintiff father, his daughter is not competent to review and make such a weighty decision.
The judge ordered a publication ban on the names of the actors, and the names of the doctors assigned to the procedure are also secret. The father should only be referred to as WV and the daughter as MV.
The judge's decision is suspended for 30 days, so the father's lawyers can appeal.
His reference extends to his client's inability to endure life with autism.
