A 77-year-old woman with advanced Alzheimer’s has been granted protection “against the likelihood of death at the hands of her husband” by the B.C. Supreme Court.
The case involves a woman, identified as E.W., and her husband, identified as T.W., in court documents. T.W. is a strong advocate for medical assistance in dying (MAID) and even spoke openly about a “Death Plan” for his wife, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2017, Justice B. Smith wrote in his reasons for judgment.
