    Gloria Taylor has taken her fight for the right to die to the Supreme Court of BC.  We anticipate that it will come before the Supreme Court of Canada within two or three years.  While cases are decided by court justices, they are influenced by the court of public opinion.  Can you help Canadians obtain the right to die?
