Anti- euthanasia leader warns more action needed to protect Golubchuk, other patients from hastened death by doctors
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, February 13, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The injunction preventing Winnipeg's Grace General Hospital from removing Life-Sustaining Care from Samuel Golubchuk has been upheld by Justice Perry Schulman of the Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench. The 84-year-old cognitively disable patient's family has been battling hospital doctors who are determined starve and dehydrate him to death regardless of the family's wishes.
The Winnipeg Free Press reported today that Justice Schulman ruled that the patient and his family have a right to a civil trial and ordered the hospital to not remove life support. Schulman also said his order must be added to Golubchuk's hospital chart to ensure that all medical staff follow the decision...............

And how many conservative pundits still cheer when President Bush -- as he does often -- promises to use American power not merely for self-defense against Islamofascism, but to promote "the spread of liberty" throughout the world?...........
