Carter v Canada (AG) (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

Carter v Canada (AG), 2015 SCC 5 is a landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision where the prohibition of assisted suicide was challenged as contrary to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms ("Charter") by several parties, including the family of Kay Carter, a woman suffering from degenerative spinal stenosis, and Gloria Taylor, a woman suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ("ALS"). In a unanimous decision on February 6, 2015, the Court struck down the provision in the Criminal Code, thereby giving Canadian adults who are mentally competent and suffering intolerably and enduringly the right to a doctor's assistance in dying. This ruling overturned the Supreme Court's 1993 ruling in Rodriguez v British Columbia (AG), which had denied a right to assisted suicide.

dbo:abstract Carter v Canada (AG), 2015 SCC 5 is a landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision where the prohibition of assisted suicide was challenged as contrary to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms ("Charter") by several parties, including the family of Kay Carter, a woman suffering from degenerative spinal stenosis, and Gloria Taylor, a woman suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ("ALS"). In a unanimous decision on February 6, 2015, the Court struck down the provision in the Criminal Code, thereby giving Canadian adults who are mentally competent and suffering intolerably and enduringly the right to a doctor's assistance in dying. This ruling overturned the Supreme Court's 1993 ruling in Rodriguez v British Columbia (AG), which had denied a right to assisted suicide. The court suspended its ruling for 12 months, with the decision taking effect in 2016, to give the federal government enough time to amend its laws. In January 2016, the court granted an additional four-month extension to its ruling suspension to allow time for the newly elected federal Liberal government to consult with Canadians on drafting a law to comply with the ruling. As an interim measure, it also ruled that provincial courts could approve applications for euthanasia until the new law passed. (en) Carter c. Canada (Procureur général) est une décision de la Cour suprême du Canada, prise unanimement le 6 février 2015, où une disposition du Code criminel interdisant l'aide au suicide a été rendue illégale, rendant ainsi légal, pour des personnes adultes qui sont aptes mentalement et souffrant de manière intolérable et persistante, d'obtenir l'aide d'un médecin pour mourir. Cette décision fait suite à un procès intenté par plusieurs partis, incluant la famille de Kay Carter, une femme souffrant de sténose du canal vertébral dégénératif, et Gloria Taylor, une femme souffrant de sclérose latérale amyotrophique, qui affirmaient que l'interdiction de l'aide au suicide était contraire à la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés. Cette décision a renversé la décision de la même cour de 1993 dans l'affaire Rodriguez c. Colombie-Britannique (Procureur général) qui avait maintenu l'interdiction de l'aide au suicide. La cour a suspendu son jugement pour 12 mois, faisant ainsi en sorte qu'elle prenne effet en 2016, afin de donner assez de temps au parlement fédéral d'amender ses lois. En janvier 2016, la cour a accordé une extension de quatre mois à cette suspension afin de donner assez de temps au gouvernement nouvellement élu du Parti libéral du Canada de consulter la population canadienne et d'amender ses lois. Comme mesure intérimaire, la Cour suprême du Canada a donné le droit aux cours provinciales d'approuver des demandes d'euthanasie jusqu'à ce que la nouvelle loi soit adoptée. (fr)
