What ever happened to the Hippocratic Oath?

If a nation or society can be judged by the way it treats its most vulnerable citizens Canada may no longer be the just and compassionate country it is imagined to be. What is particularly disturbing is that our top court like the proverbial pied piper is merrily leading the way down the slippery slope of the culture of death. The Supreme Court last year struck down the Criminal Code prohibitions on doctor-assisted death in a ruling with ambiguous wording that opens the door for a minority of activists to interpret the Court's mandate in a way that promotes death as opposed to life. A Parliamentary Committee under pressure from the court and with a surprising lack of compassion and sobriety has come up with recommendations that if accepted would make Canada by far the most radical country in the world for medically assisted dying. Shockingly they want doctor-assisted death made available to people with mental illness and depression and eventually this "service" would include "mature minors."
