The B.C. Supreme Court has ordered the husband of a woman with Alzheimer's disease removed as her representative over a "death plan" he decided to carry out if his wife became ineligible for medical assistance in dying.聽

The Vancouver Island Health Authority petitioned the court for "declaratory relief and orders to enable it to provide protection to a vulnerable woman against the likelihood of death at the hands of her husband," the ruling says.聽
