Euthanasia And The Robert Latimer Case

Euthanasia and euthanasia of Robert Latimer is a question of thought without any doubt for children and adults with severe disabilities. There are few people who think that it has a "neutral" view, ie they must choose, support or oppose it. For "in the middle" this topic is too subtle. For many years, cases involving euthanasia have many controversies. In other words, it is whether you can deprive others of their lives to "get rid of your suffering".

The Robert Latimer case was proved to be one of the most controversial cases of euthanasia in history. R. v. The Latimer (1994) case began in the Saskatchewan State Court and has since been appealed to the Canadian Supreme Court ever since. Robert Latimer was accused of killing his 12 - year - old daughter, Tracy, who was suffering from cerebral palsy since birth. While carbon monoxide was filling the lungs, Latimer admitted to confining her daughter in the car. Latimer also claimed that he did not love his daughter all what he did. Latimer was convicted for the second murder and sentenced to at least 10 years sentence without parole. The case has been appealed several times, but the court's ruling has not changed. However, this exemption has been dismissed and Latimer condemns him. There is no doubt that Latimer likes his daughter, but she wants to die, she does not say.

In the case of Robert Latimer, as well as many other euthanasia cases, Latimer killed his young girl, Tracy, to save his "daughter" or to prove it for self-help . I have never experienced a life with severely disabled people, but I have the opportunity to discuss this problem with many friends and colleagues. From what I have learned, that is really very difficult thing. None of the people I talked about did not show a suicidal tendency for this problem, but they saw real pain and suffering that some of the people with serious injuries really had to deal with. Nevertheless, many people agree with my own idea, human life is life, and all living people live regardless of whether it is in a more difficult environment than the other I have a right. Technically, the law stipulates that no one has the right to live his life.
