Is Being Human
With apologies to @Ritafee (because this is the only way I can figure out how to add a comment at the beginning of a moved thread) I have moved all the posts (I hope) having to do with the Latimer family in the MAID thread to its own thread. I have included the argumentative posts for flow. Please note, discussion is expected to be respectful. Any post that suggests another member cannot comment will be removed. Thread reply bans will be used in the event such comments are made.

“Robert Latimer’s story is the ultimate antidote to the tendency to see the law in abstract terms. The supposed virtue of our legal system is its ability to temper law with justice. This book sets out clearly the many barriers to that goal — naïveté of accused, pop-psychology misconceptions, prosecutorial zeal, professional incompetence, uninformed and biased political and media pressure- among many others. Gary Bauslaugh has written a book that should be on every law school curriculum and on every politician’s and justice professional’s reading list. The questions he raises about end-of-life issues deserve wide debate, but at the end of the day, as the Latimer case illustrates, even if we do change our laws, we will always need to find justice for those good people who are on the wrong side of the law for the right reasons.”Robert Latimer is a convicted murderer because he couldn't handle the fact that his daughter lived with pain (and required 24 hr care).
