He was acting out of kindness. I'm sure if Tracey had the ability to communicate she would have wanted to have been peacefully suffocated with CO. Not being able to eat solid food unsupervised, capped at a mental age of 5 months, multiples seizures daily, and chronic unbearable pain, does that sound like life as we know it? Robert Latimer is my hero I am so happy he is free now. Canadian Law cannot be black and white, clearly, the non-religious, logical minds side with Latimer on this one.

Robert Latimer should never have been sent to jail. Anyone with an ounce of brain-matter should be able to see that what he did, he did out of love, compassion and mercy.

If someone had allowed an animal to suffer as Tracy suffered, they'd (rightfully) be charged and gone to jail. What he did was to end suffering, not prolong it.

When Karla Homolka is allowed out of prison and futher, allowed to breed, and Robert denied parole, we know the justice system has failed. Utterly.

@MegaHayley33 Adding to this, in fact she was not able to take ANY sort of painkiller because she was already on medication to prevent seizures, & if this medication was mixed with a painkiller it would cause more powerful seizures. The final scheduled surgery (which was obviously never performed) would have caused even more after the fact. This was testified by a doctor witness to the case. He said: "The post operative apin can be incredible". Imagine without painkillers. People are ignorant.

One of my assignments in law school was to read the entire transcript of this case, analyze the evidence, and then write my own report about what I thought about it. All I can say is the people who went AGAINST Latimer didn't know of the horrid painful suffering this child was going through every single second of every single day! These people clearly do not have children who have ever been through such pain that all there was to do was relieve them of it. This is ignorance at it's best.

God bless Robert Latimer. I love when people have the courage to take a powerful stand for what's right, even if it's against the popular opinion of morally bankrupt religious fucktards or even the law.

It is my understanding that without Man intervention she would of been dead a long time before this loving father would of add to make such decision. Between the right of a corporate society and a father, it is very simple to me who add the right and obligation to choose. In today world one would end-up in prison for letting a animal suffer what that child add and would of suffered in the hands of the doctors Frankenstein who add absolutely no rights in this case.

Rex is great....

But on a censorship note...CBC didnt allow commenting on the latest interview for english....but if you were french you can comment all you want...

CBC is starting to show signs of FOXation

@EquestrianLuv101 Did you know that she was scheduled for surgeries for which she couldn't take morphine or any pain killers because her body couldn't digest them?

[EquestrianLuv101]

I feel there is no reason for anyone to take a person's life who has a disability. It is inhumane and ignorant. Just because Laura couldn't communicate she still has thoughts, feelings and emotions. Everyone with a disability should be treated with respect and dignity. They should not be frowned upon just because they are different, they should be treated like everyone else in society.

Rex is one of the last few intelligent newscasters in Canada, bravo.
