e-3443 (Justice)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Minister of Justice
- Bill C-7 addresses issues where C-14 is deficient but still does not provide equality to every Canadian;
- One circumstance that has not been addressed is that in which a person suffers a catastrophic trauma from which there is no hope of survival even though clinical brain death cannot be declared;
- In all such instances of this scenario under current legislation the only option is palliative care where opioids and sedatives are administered to keep the patient pain-free and "comfortable" until the body poisons itself causing organ failure; and
- The viability of organs for donation is lost and the catatonic patient languishes unnecessarily.
