Duty To Die

A regional euthanasia review board had said in a 2016 report that the doctor had put the sedative dormicum into the woman’s coffee to ensure she was peaceful while the fatal drug was administered a few minutes later.

 

But it found that the elderly woman stood up while the euthanasia drug was being injected, adding that “the patient’s family then helped to restrain the patient and the doctor quickly administered the rest”.

Just lovely.

The Sound Of Settled Science

There are too many polar bears in parts of Nunavut and climate change hasn’t yet affected any of them, says a draft management plan from the territorial government that contradicts much of conventional scientific thinking.

 

The proposed plan — which is to go to public hearings in Iqaluit on Tuesday — says that growing bear numbers are increasingly jeopardizing public safety and it’s time Inuit knowledge drove management policy.

 

“Inuit believe there are now so many bears that public safety has become a major concern,” says the document, the result of four years of study and public consultation.
