N.S. woman loses appeal to block husband's medically assisted death


Katherine Sorenson opposed her husband's plans and has turned to the courts to try to stop him. After Katherine Sorenson launched her legal efforts to stop her husband from accessing MAID, her husband moved out of their shared home and the couple stopped speaking. The ruling goes further, saying that Katherine Sorenson does not have the legal right to contest what her husband is trying to do. Doesn't have standing, court saysBourgeois said that since Katherine Sorenson doesn't have standing, her efforts to block her husband's actions should not proceed any further. One of Katherine Sorenson's lawyers, Hugh Scher of Toronto, said the law covering medical assistance in dying is "broken" and Parliament should fix it.
