There is good news out of Canada today! The Court of Appeal for Ontario has issued a unanimous decision in the Rasouli Case upholding a lower court decision requiring doctors to gain the consent of family (or other substitute decision-maker) before withdrawing life support. The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition had joined Rasouli Family in this important, precedent-setting case. For more information on the Rasouli Case victory see the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition blog at http://alexschadenberg.blogspot.com/2011/06/victory-for-individual-rights-doctors.html
