Legal scholars read statutes, judgments, and other scholars. Trial transcripts are scandalously overlooked. Judgments present a tidy case. Transcripts show cases being made and unmade in real-time. My new paper examines expert evidence in a big telecom case ⬇️ 1/

Some people think that Learned Hand had the perfect name for a judge. But "Learned" was the judge's middle name, not his first name. Hand's real first name was better suited for a lawyer: Billings.

One of the enduring characteristics of right-wing rhetoric is to redirect blame for social unhappiness from the practices and institutions left intellectuals usually criticize to the fact that left intellectuals are criticizing...

They sure have. And as someone who has testified before parliamentary committees on MAID three times, I can tell you the hostility and aggressiveness towards any criticism or challenge of MAiD during this last round was unparalleled. Senator Wells was a big part of why.

Canadian senators, who are appointed and not elected, have been highly influential in the expansion of MAiD. We have become a warning to other countries yet the activist senators keep pushing.

"Barriers" has become a repetitive buzzword, used as a blanket label for any rule, law, or regulation. Deliberate obscuring of intent when those act as safeguards, protections and requirements to prevent abuse and protect lives. It renders word meaningless & as a crip I object.
Dr. Kristopher Wells@KristopherWellsOct 13
Picard is right. “Creating additional barriers to MAID for people with mental illness is discrimination, pure and simple. “

"I was warned about this by people opposing the law that told me, 'We see your motivation is good, but you will see, once you open the door you will not close it and it will open wider.' And this is what happened," he said. 🎤 Philippe Couillard on CBC linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

Totally correct & one could add: there’s this little thing called the Rule of law & because of it, MDs are accountable to the law whether they like it or not (as everyone else); the law is the last word; the alternative is MDs above the law (though surely some would love that).

I have a tremendous amount of respect for physicians and the difficult work they do on the front lines of end-of-life care. That doesn’t mean they have a monopoly on legitimate opinions on what we may permissibly do to human beings.

If there is anyone who you should support for thoughtful commentaries on various issues, particularly MAID and disability-related issues, it is @mssinenomine. You can disagree, and challenge her, which I trust she'd like, but you won't regret from having been pushed to think

Can Canadians get advanced directives to not get pestered about euthanasia by medical staff?

I haven’t been writing regularly on substack and part of that is because of health issues I’ve been dealing with. But the other part is I don’t have many paid subscriptions and I’m kind of over watching my work copied and pasted by those who get paid & access to write/speak.

1. It is killing. Euthanasia is the killing of one person by another. 2. The govt itself refers to it as the MAiD regime. 3. Speaking plainly and directly is the most effective way to neutralize deceptive language, such as obfuscation, political spin, or govt doublespeak.

The nice thing about this guy is that he’s auto-disqualifying AND serves as Exhibit A for why Canadian euthanasia has gone off the rails. Keep going Tyler!

A lot of these "dementia patients screaming no at injections" people would change their tune pretty quick if it was antibiotic IV for a life threatening UTI. (Again, something you can give advanced directives for)

If there’s any issue worth thinking carefully about, it’s probably the moral duties we owe people we’re considering killing.

In a meaningful sense, the person who made the advance directive doesn’t exist anymore. Not at all clear that you owe superior duties to that person and not the one who is actually present.
Tyler Black, MD
@tylerblack32Oct 10
If my advance directive says "please give me MAiD when my dementia gets to the level that I'm a burden on my loved ones", them the answer is you give me MAiD, not respond to my delirious protests. If you don't know how to "interrogate delirium or confusion", you shouldn't be a doctor. There is NOTHING HARD about this scenario, except if you don't understand how brains work.
