The latest – Facing Life Head-On TV show is entitled – Hope for Lilliana. This is truly a fantastic show because it shows how well Lilliana is doing, it proves that Trisomy is not “Incompatible with Life” and it shows the joy the Dennis family have while caring for Lilliana.

Last week I wrote a blog comment about the recent study that was published in the Journal Paediatrics that found that children with Trisomy 13/18 are happy and the parents of these children indicated that their lives are enriched by caring for these children. The study is very realistic because it also indicates that caring for a child with a disability is not easy.

It is my hope that attitudes towards children with disabilities will change and that people will be willing to welcome children with disabilities, rather than deny them treatment, care or life.

See our talking points for letter writing campaign.

Justice Smith decided that the assisted suicide act is unconstitutional, she decided to legalize euthanasia (it a little unclear), she decided to suspend her decision for one year to give parliament time to comply with her orders, and she decided to grant a constitutional exemption to Gloria Taylor, who has ALS, giving her the right to be killed by euthanasia or assisted suicide.

We  need you to contact the Hon Rob Nicholson, Justice Minister and ask him to appeal the decision by Justice Smith in the Carter case. We have created Talking Points for you.

Contact the Justice Minister at: http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/contact/Comm3.html or Email: mcu@justice.gc.ca

Since Justice Smith has ordered the Parliament of Canada to legalize “assisted death” within the year. We need you to contact your Member of Parliament (MP) to urge him/her to oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide. Link to the talking points. Contact your Member of Parliament at: http://www.parl.gc.ca/MembersOfParliament/MainMPsCompleteList.aspx?TimePeriod=Current&Language=E.

We need you to write letters in response to the many articles that are being written about this decision. To write a letter to a the media you should include personal stories, when possible, and  use one of the talking points.
