Join us for a daring look at euthanasia and the most prominent case of “mercy killing” in Canadian history. Guest speaker: acclaimed writer and activist, Gary Bauslaugh.

In October 1993, Robert Latimer, a Saskatchewan farmer, ended the life of his daughter, Tracy, who had severe cerebral palsy. She was 12 years old at the time of her death. Tracy’s death and the charge of murder laid against Robert Latimer set in motion Canada’s most famous and controversial case of “mercy killing.”  The case sparked a national debate about euthanasia and the rights of the severely disabled that rages on today.

Gary Bauslaugh has a PhD from McGill University, has held various teaching and administrative positions in post-secondary institutions in Canada, and served for four years as CEO of a post-secondary educational development agency in BC. He recently co-authored a chapter on evolution and intelligent design for the book, Universities at Risk.
