We were able to bring him back to the States with the help of the wonderful people of Canada. He regained significant recovery and has lived at home for nearly two decades. He serves God daily in his broken body and has taught me much about faith.<br /><br />We stand with you on this side of the border in the fight for life and dignity for the medically vulnerable. I would be interested in interviewing you and your family for the Unstoppable series on my website.

See my earlier post where Belgium warns Canada about this very point after their bitter experience with safeguards.

We are all vulnerable when we are sick. <br /><br />Also about doctors, they are great at referring patients. We already has a good death clinic in Vancouver. Dr. Ellen Weibe called her clinic HEMLOCK AID. To date two have died there by lethal injection. There might be more but how would we know as such deaths need not be made public. After a few months who dies will not be a good news story any more. Safeguards will deteriorate and who would know or who would care.
