BCCLA and Farewell Found keep working to get us the right to die by our own terms

Dying with Dignity appealed to Supreme Court


The BCCLA has filed for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada for the right to choose an assisted death.

In a rare move, the BCCLA has also asked the Court to fast-track its decision to hear the case and to speed up the timeline for hearing the appeal if the Court grants leave.

Elayne Shapray, one of nine witnesses in our trial before the BC Supreme Court has stepped into the public fight for the right to die with dignity. She is the latest in a long line of brave terminally and incurably ill Canadians asking the court to remedy this indefensible prohibition.
