Good work...after the fact. I wonder what could have been different had the OPP and local police allocated their resources properly before the eighth person was killed.

I wonder how many other care home workers like Miss Compassion here are getting a jump on the involuntary euthanasia band wagon.

My guess is that this will become more and more common as the population ages and people in positions of authority like this bitch get to start to making life and death decisions for the elderly and infirmed.

More importantly, how does this affect our allies trust in us?

My mom spent her last two months in one of those places. They're so awful it's unbelievable. Not because of bad treatment or rotten food but because anyone going in their knows it's their last stop. As far as I'm concerned anyone who gets transferred to one should have the legal option of assisted self-termination instead of going to one just to wait for the inevitable. Not sure what the story is with this nurse but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if there was some kind of agreement between her and the deceased to accelerate their departure from this world because they just couldn't take it anymore.

I'm actually contemplating that when I get too decrepit that I'll refuse all the prescribed pharmaceuticals they give to seniors these days to keep them going. Kind of a return-to-nature philosophy where the person actively and consciously rejects the artificial means of going on past the number of days that nature has given me.

Agreed. I've not one single doubt that selected members of this forum are absolutely on board with killing older people but they'll couch it with BS like "as long as two doctors agree on it first".

And I'll say, "Paging Doctor Goebbels, paging Doctor Mengele. Would doctors Goebbels and Mengele please pick up the white courtesy phone?"

As with birth control and women working outside of the house the decision should be left up to the men at the church meetings instead?

Why don't you write a 'friend of the court' brief on behalf of the murderers since that's how you feel?

I'd like the case investigate, tried, and a verdict given before that label is applied to anyone.

A good reminder to everyone to get a DNR added to your will & testament, as well as to exploit any other legal device that exists to ensure that you will be able to leave this world on your own terms, just to prevent the ratfucks from the local busybody church from busting into your private affairs and interfering as much as they possibly can in the only real right you actually have.

I don't fear people trying to keep me alive but more the day when society starts to resemble Logans Run.

When it comes to DNR's it's all about ethics and there aren't alot of those around anymore. So, if you expect a doctor who has taken a Hippocratic oath and strongly believes in it to grant your wishes you're dreaming. They'll keep you alive as long as they're on shift and you'd better hope the next guy isn't so ethical because if he is it could be along time before your ass gets to departs this worldly plane.

But then again maybe you'll get lucky enough to have these people at your bedside who'll willingly break the law just to ensure your wishes are carried out. But in any case this ruling pretty much puts DNR's back to the family and physicians rather than the patient which is sad because once again you can't make a decision regarding your end life and expect it to be carried out, in Toronto at least.

Doctors at a major Toronto hospital violated the law by unilaterally imposing a do-not-resuscitate order on an elderly patient against his family’s wishes, an appeal board has ruled in an extraordinary clash over end-of-life care.

Douglas DeGuerre died from cardiac arrest at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre as his daughter, Joy Wawrzyniak, frantically tried to convince medical staff to save him, and health workers declined to help the severely ill war veteran.

In a case that dramatizes the debate over who has ultimate power in such cases – doctors or patients’ families — Ms. Wawrzyniak said she had only just learned that the “full code” response to emergencies she had requested on her father’s behalf had been over-ruled by a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order, which meant CPR would not be attempted during cardiac arrest.

Ms. Wawrzyniak, a nurse, said Wednesday that Mr. DeGuerre, 88, was struggling to breath when she entered his room the day he died in 2008.

“My father said to me, ‘I’m drowning, I’m drowning.’ Those were his last words,” she recalled. “I grabbed the oxygen bag, and I tried to help my father while they all stood there and did nothing … I just couldn’t believe it.”

A curious thing has just surfaced about this woman. She signed a peace bond that forbade her from possessing Insulin.

That's a hell of a way to die!

Yep. My personal rule is that anyone illicitly euthanizing anyone I even remotely care about will in turn be euthanized themselves. Ghouls who prey on the weakest and most vulnerable of people do not deserve to live.
