Hello Richard Roskell,

In 1988, in the Morgentaler ruling on ACCESS TO THE MEDICAL PROCEDURE of abortion, most of the judges (5 of 7) agreed that the government's laws at that time "violated Canadian women’s constitutional rights to the security of the person".

Given two logical observations, that failure to provide ANY life-saving hospital procedure is obviously a threat to security of the person, and that government laws and government policies are what functionally provide and determine the access of Canadians to hospital services... 

... there is really nothing radical or off-base about the notion floated in the original post-writer's wish....
