Justice Simon R. Coval said there is an ‘arguable case’ about whether the MAID criteria were properly applied to a 53-year-old Alberta woman’s application
A Vancouver doctor at the forefront of pushing the boundaries of federal medical assistance in dying regulations is once again under scrutiny after a B.C. Supreme Court judge granted an injunction, suspending the request for death the woman’s own doctors denied.
None of the allegations have been proven in court and her clinic said Dr. Wiebe was unavailable when contacted by The Globe and Mail early Thursday afternoon. A receptionist said the clinic had no comment. “I can only imagine the pain she has been experiencing and I recognize that this injunction will likely make that worse,” he said.
The case is at least the second this year in which a judge was required to grapple with how MAID applications are approved and what rights family members have to challenge them.against his 27-year-old daughter’s MAID application. The daughter, who had autism and lived with her parents, argued the court does not have jurisdiction to review Alberta Health Services’ approval of her MAID application. The reasons why the woman was seeking MAID were not revealed.
