I was checking a group on Robert Latimer on Facebook and apparently alot of the members are white people with shaved heads and mainly from the Prairie Provinces. White people with shave heads is historically associated with Fascism (think Skinheads, Nazis etc.).

Another point I think that a person with a disability has just as much right not to be killed as a
non-disabled.

Pro-Robert Latimer:

http://www.robertlatimer.net/ Robert Latimer's supporter(s). This site I believe is lacking in credibilty. The site hase no about us section. Also when they cite people only a few of them leave contact info (email address, mailing address, phone number etc.). Several people they cite seem to be fabricated, for example they have a page on their site supposedly by a person by the name of Daphne Naegele who is supposedly the editor of Transition a publication for a group called British Columbia Coalition of People with Disabilities (BCCPD). However according to the BCCPD, the founding editor of their publication Transition is Richard A. Watson.

I my opinion I think that an individual has the choice to VOLUNTARY Euthanasia. I think that if
a person is terminally ill THEY have the right to request Euthanasia. I think taking Terry Shiavo off life support was acceptable. I don't think the "mercy killing" of a disabled person is at all
justified. Tracy Latimer was not brain dead or terminally ill nor did she ever request to die. She
was also living outside her mother's uterus which, I think, makes this different from abortion.
