Digital Journal – “MONTREAL, July 17, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ – As announced when Bill 52, An Act respecting end-of-life care, was adopted, the citizen movement Living with Dignity (LWD) and the Physicians’ Alliance against Euthanasia (the Alliance), representing together over 650 physicians and 17,000 citizens, have today filed a lawsuit before the Superior Court of Quebec in the District of Montreal. The lawsuit requests that the Court declare invalid all the provisions of An Act respecting end-of-life care that deal with “medical aid in dying”, a euphemism used to describe euthanasia. This Act not only allows certain patients to demand that a physician provoke their death, but also grants physicians the right to cause the death of these patients by the administration of a lethal substance.” Full Article

Ozzy And Sharon Osbourne On Life Worth Living
RTT – “In 2007, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne revealed that they have a joint agreement to take the other to the Switzerland-based assisted dying organization called Dignitas should Alzheimer’s disorder afflict either.
Now, speaking with the Mirror, Ozzy says that the pact includes other disorders:
“If I can’t live my life the way I’m living it now — and I don’t mean financially — then that’s it,” he began.
“If I can’t get up and go to the bathroom myself and I’ve got tubes up my ass and an enema in my throat, then I’ve said to Sharon, ‘Just turn the machine off.’ If I had a stroke and was paralyzed, I don’t want to be here.”
