A series titled "Aftermath of Murder: Survivor Stories" was produced for the BC Victims of Homicide group. In this series, it featured many people from different stories speaking about their hardships with coping.
Many of the survivors claimed that the difficult part was finding help:
"There are so few people to share our story with, and people who have had a natural death feel that they understand, but in many ways they don't."
"What I wanted more than anything else was to talk to people who can say they understand this. I didn't know anyone else who did, and that was very isolating."
Producer and host Brett Stafford described the video series as "a way of giving back.
This doesn't directly relate to Law 12 because it's more of the exploration of a person who has survived a homicide BUT, we've been talking about homicides and murders in Law 12 so.. that's the connection :)

To kill or not to kill has become a question
"The Quebec government is working on a bill to legalize 'medical aid in dying' which really amounts to nothing else but euthanasia". The Catholic Organization for Life and Family (COLF) just released a book titled "Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide: Urgent Questions" outlining the Catholic teaching on the issue as well as the current state of the law.
There is no separate offence called Euthanasia under the criminal code. It's classified as either first or second degree murder, while assisted suicide has a maximum of a 14-year prison penalty.
This relates to Law 12 because at the moment we're talking about Criminal Law. I've always been pro-life and every person regardless of their health deserves the right to live.
