Supreme Court to hear Latimer mercy killing appeal
The Supreme Court will hear the Latimer case, a Saskatchewan farmer convicted in 1993 for killing his 12-year-old daughter Tracy with exhaust fumes to end her suffering. Latimer says the act was out of love, and the court's ruling could shape constitutional exemptions and mercy killing ethics. The hearing, likely next winter, follows years of legal and moral debate.
