B.C. Supreme Court tosses out challenge to assisted-suicide law

B.C. Supreme Court tosses out challenge to assisted-suicide law: The Farewell Foundation's attempt to challenge the section of the Criminal Code banning assisted suicide has been tossed out by a British Columbia Supreme Court judge. Justice Lynn Smith ruled the foundation did not have a strong enough case to challenge the law, saying anonymous members of the group must identify themselves in order to prove the law directly affects them. However, Smith invited the group to apply to intervene in a parallel right-to-die case led by the B.C. Civil Liberties Association.
