Section 7 and Physician Assisted Suicide

SKU: 61955.01

This paper discusses the current legal and ethical landscape surrounding end-of-life medical practice through the lens of s 7 of the Charter.  Using Carter v Canada (Attorney General) to foreground her analysis, the author begins by outlining the Charter jurisprudence on physician-assisted suicide in Canada before turning to the practical legal and ethical considerations at play in end-of-life medical care. After this discussion – where the author defines various treatment options and implications of current legally acceptable end-of-life practices – the author concludes by considering the upcoming Supreme Court hearing involving these issues.

This paper was presented at the Constitutional Law Symposium in October 2014.
