Hi Everyone,
I AMwriting to ask a favour for my cousin again. Bianca is writing an
essay on the SOCIAL IMPACT of the Robert Latimer Case and I am wondering
if you have any ideas/opinions on the matter. I know I may be opening a
can of worms here, too!
Robert Latimer was a Saskatchewan farmer who killed his daughter Tracey
via carbon monoxide poisoning. He said it was mercy killing, as she had
cerebral palsy could not speak ,had 2 dislocated hips, needed a g-tube which
the family did not allow, etc. I have read a book about what really went
on in the courtroom, not just in the press releases, and it is scarey. If
you haven't heard of the case itself, there is bound to be a ton of
information on the Internet. Does anyone have any input on this...
Again, sorry if I opened a can of worms, but it is for the good cause of a
school paper. You can post your feelings, e-mail them to my other address
[log in to unmask]
or write directly to BIANCA: Her e-mail is [log in to unmask]
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Jenn
