Two sisters, Alicia and Christie Duncan, say their mother was given an assisted-dying “lethal injection” in Canada after they were told they had only 48 hours to stop it. They describe seeking more time and additional consideration for their mother’s situation before the procedure took place days later.
The outlet reporting the case frames it as a dispute over whether the person was “terminally ill” and whether the family had adequate notice and opportunity to challenge the decision. In the account, the sisters contend their mother needed support rather than end-of-life euthanasia, while the timing and authorization process are presented as central to their complaint.
Because only one source is provided here, details about official findings, the medical rationale, the specific legal process followed, or any response from authorities are not included. The broader context is that Canada’s assisted-dying system requires assessments and eligibility decisions, and families may differ on how those rules apply in individual cases.
