VANCOUVER — A British Columbia judge has granted an urgent injunction stopping a woman's medically assisted death, the day before it was scheduled to take place in Vancouver.
The application for the injunction says that after she was denied medical assistance in dying, or MAID, in her home province, she found Wiebe in Vancouver. He said there were"extremely pressing circumstances," and a serious question about"whether there should be judicial oversight" when someone chooses to die by MAID."I can only imagine the pain she has been experiencing and I recognize that this injunction will likely make that worse," he said.
"At the same time, continued to express her desire to die. She did not want to do it herself, and regularly begged the plaintiff to end her life," the application said. The application says Wiebe did not try to consult with the woman's treating physicians and"relied solely on the information provided" by the woman.
