A Canadian judge has just signed off on a request from government doctors to euthanize a 27-year-old woman because she suffers from autism.
The approval of the case comes despite desperate pleas from her devasted father to block the government’s “assisted suicide” of his daughter.
The request was made by Alberta Health Services and approved by a Calgary judge.
Justice Colin Feasby released his 34-page written decision when he approved the request on Monday.
Despite hearing arguments from the woman’s family, Feasby asserted that the daughter’s right to apply for MAID must come first.
