[[{“value”:”A 27-year-old autistic woman’s planned medically assisted suicide ( MAID ) has been stopped by a Canadian judge for the time being.
Justice Anne Kirker upheld the woman’s father’s appeal, which allowed another judge to reverse the woman’s medically assisted suicide decision.
Justice Colin Feasby recently ruled that the woman could no longer end her life.
According to Feasby, preventing the woman from getting biologically assisted suicide would endanger her irreparably.
LifeSiteNews reported that Kirker granted a stay of the injunction “pending a determination of an appeal in the case.”

In consequence, the woman wo n’t be permitted to pass away in euthanasia until the Court of Appeal renders a final decision in the case.
The injunction was ordered to “prevent the death of the 27-year-old disabled woman until after the appeal is heard,” according to Kirker.
Schadenberg claimed that this situation” considers me greatly because I have an epileptic son.”
The trial is scheduled to begin in October, according to the initial schedule. The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition has stated that it intends to “intervene in the Appeal.”
The younger woman in the case is identified as MV and her father as WV because there is a publication ban in place.
Despite her father’s objections, a Calgary judge ruled late last month that the disabled, non-terminally poor young woman could proceed and be put to death via euthanasia.

According to Feasby’s summary of her father’s position, he believes MV “is resilient and is not capable to make the decision to take her own life”.
” He says that she is generally good and believes that her physical symptoms, to the extent that she has any, result from untreated mental conditions”, CBC reports.
Autism and ADHD are the only known diagnoses that MV has been accused of having, according to the outlet.
This woman’s even diagnoses are autism and ADHD. She has received a MAID authorization in Canada. https ://t.co/HgDmegpoCJ

A judge upheld the right to a government MAiD for someone with autism. This nation should be assisting those who have been diagnosed with developmental disabilities rather than putting them to death. Canada is broken. https: //t. co/oZw6BRfHI5

CBC reports:
W. V.’s attorney requested that the time injunction continue on March 11th when M. V.’s attorneys requested that a judicial review be conducted to determine how the daughter obtained MAID approval.
Now, two doctors or nurse practitioners have to approve a patient for MAID.
According to Feasby, M. V. approached two doctors at first, one of whom approved her for MAID, the additional of whom denied the application.
A second “tie- breaker” doctor, as described by lawyers for Alberta Health Services, was subsequently offered to M. V.
Because the second doctor, her father, was no objective or independent, he objected to her father’s objections to M. V.’s MAID approval.
At the March 11 hearing, Sarah Miller, counsel for the father, called the situation” a tale issue for Alberta” because the province operates a system where there is no appeal process and no means of reviewing a person’s MAID approval.

On March 12, 2024, CBC News reported on the Calgary court case involving a father who petitioned the court to stop the father’s 27-year-old epileptic daughter from passing away in euthanasia. The father claimed that even though his daughter had previously been given the death penalty, she did not have a health condition that qualifies under the law.
CBC News reporter, Meghan Grant reported on March 25, 2024 that Justice Feasby ruled that the 27- year- ancient daughter can die by euthanasia despite her father’s concerns. Justice Feasby withdrew the momentary injunction that prevented the woman from passing away through euthanasia but maintained a 30-day stay of the injunction, which gave the father time to appeal the ruling.
Justice Feasby ordered an evaluation of Alberta Health Services ‘ role in the daughter’s decision to receive euthanasia.
Kevin Martin reported for the Calgary Herald on April 2, 2024, that the father of the 27-year-old epileptic woman had filed an appeal with the Alberta Court of Appeal.

A Canadian judge has temporarily stopped the planned medically assisted suicide (MAID), of a 27 year-old autistic woman.
Justice Anne Kirker ruled for the father of the woman who appealed a decision by another judge to allow the medically assisted suicide to proceed.
Justice Colin Feasby had previously ordered that an injunction preventing the woman from taking her own life be lifted.
Feasby ruled preventing the woman’s access to medically assisted suicide would cause irreparable harm.
According to LifeSiteNews Kirker issued a stay on the injunction “pending the determination of an appeal.”

The woman will therefore not be allowed die by euthanasia before the Court of Appeal renders a final ruling in the case.
Kirker ordered that the injunction be stayed until the appeal was heard to “prevent death of the 27 year-old autistic female.”
Schadenberg said this case “concerns [him] greatly as I have an autistic child.”
The trial is tentatively scheduled to begin in October. The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition said it “will seek intervene in the Appeal.”
Due to the publication ban, the young woman is listed as MV while her father is WV.
LifeSiteNews reported late last month that a Calgary Judge ruled that despite the objections of her father, a young woman who was autistic and not terminally ill could be put to death by euthanasia.

According to Feasby, who summarized her father’s view, MV is “vulnerable and not competent to decide to take her life.”
CBC reports that “He says she is generally healthy, and believes that any physical symptoms she may have are due to undiagnosed mental conditions.”
The outlet stated that MV’s only diagnoses as described in court were autism and ADHD.
Autism and ADHD are the only diagnoses for this woman. She has been approved for MAID by Canada. https://t.co/HgDmegpoCJ

CBC News:
W.V.’s lawyer asked that the injunction continue on March 11, after M.V.’s lawyers had asked the judge to dismiss the interim injunction. He also asked for a judicial examination to be ordered to examine how W.V.’s daughter obtained MAID approval.
Currently, MAID requires two doctors or nurse practitioners to approve the patient.
M.V. initially approached two doctors, Feasby was told. One doctor agreed to sign off approving MAID for her, while the other denied her application.
M.V. was then offered a third “tiebreaker” doctor as described by Alberta Health Services lawyers.
Her father criticized the third doctor for not being independent or objective when he signed off on M.V.’s MAID approval.
Sarah Miller, the counsel for the father at the March 11 hearing called the situation a “novel issue for Alberta”, because the province has a system that does not allow for an appeal process or a review of a person’s approval for MAID.

CBC News reported, on March 12, 2024, on the Calgary court case involving a father who asked the court to stop the euthanasia of his 27-year old autistic daughter who lives at home. The father claimed that his daughter didn’t have a medical condition which would qualify her for euthanasia under the law, but she had already been approved to die by lethal poison.
Meghan Grant, a reporter for CBC News, reported on March 25,2024 that Justice Feasby ruled the daughter of 27 years old can die by euthanasia despite concerns from her father. Justice Feasby revoked the temporary injunction which prevented the woman from euthanizing herself. However, he maintained a 30-day stay of the injunction to give the father time for an appeal.
Justice Feasby ordered that Alberta Health Services be evaluated in relation to the approval for euthanasia of the daughter.
Kevin Martin, writing for the Calgary Herald on April 2, 2024 reported that the father of a 27-year-old woman with autism appealed to the Alberta Court of Appeal.
Justice Anne Kirker issued an order on April 8 to suspend the injunction preventing the death of a 27-year-old woman autistic until the appeal was heard. The appeal date is unknown, but it will most likely be heard in the month of October.
