Document Summary
Section 7 fundamental justice ii carter v canada. Suicide was illegal at a certain point. The court had to answer was whether this prohibition against suicide violated the life liberty and security of a person. Carter is arguing for the right to have assistance in dying. The supreme court split in the sue rodriguez case ( als) and they split 5/4, the law against assisted suicide did not violate the law. In 1993 no country in the west had provisions for assisted suicide: but by the time the carter case came around a lot of those countries changed their mind as well as 3 states in america. She knows she"s dying but she"s not depressed. What she"s afraid of, is when she"s ready to die is she wont be able to. We aren"t saying taylors arguments aren"t wrong but they"re the same arguments sue.
