Horrifying law •frompage4 An analysis of the proposed Health Care Services Act "As you will see, this bill, if passed, could remove the legitimate rights •of parents to decide what is best for their children. This is . what could legally happen .right here in .Ontario.:... _ Girls and boys under 16 years of age (no minimum age) could: +Obtain an abortion +Get contraceptive counselling + Be fitted with a 'mechanical contraceptive. device ---.7 + Get prescriptions for the Pill +Be treated for;(, sexually tran smitted diseases •+Consent on the,ir.,,,,,o,,,wnto most surgery All without their parents' knowledge or consent even if they were living at home with their parents. There is also another very dangerous provision in the bill, which pertains to mentally incompetent persons or minors. There is no, appeal or review. per- mitted by a parent as to the minor child's consent. The Minor who is regarded a "competent" may designate someone to act on his or her behalf at a future date should that minor become in- competent. The minor, under this bill, would have the option also of designating specifically those who could not act on his or her behalf. As a result a ,"competent" minor, under this proposed legislation, could designate someone ether than the parent, such ' as a "competent" teenage friend to act on their behalf at a future date. Again- no appeal is allowed for this decision of the minor. child. Exception: The rule that a minor "competent" child alone 'can give consent to medical procedures does not apply to certain special procedures - namely, (i) human experimentation; (ii) psychosurgery for behaviour control; (iii) sterilization for contraceptive pur- poses and (iv) human tran- splantation. In connection with these -above four procedures, the health care professional, after he or she has deemed the child "competent" is required to notify the recipient of the proposed ,health service and also the nearest relative and the official guardian, that he proposes to carry out the procedure, it could be carried out after the expiration of 30 days. Requirements for carrying out the. four special procedures on the mentally incompetent person are even less humane: (i) Human Experimentation -- The bill • would permit a medical procedure to be performed on a mentally incompetent person which would have no expectation of direct medical benefit to the.. patient, and which would carry with it an element of serious harmor a significant risk of harm. It would be undertaken primarily for the purposes �f the advancem ent of medical science. (ii) Organ Transplants - This means that an organ., or other parts of the body, can be removed from a live, mentally incompetent donor for the purpose of implantation in another person. It should be emphasized that, at present, in the Province of Ontario, no one under the age of 18 years, or a mentally incompetent; regardless of age,, can now act as a live organ. donor, except in regard to tissues that would regrow or repair by natural processes (e.g. skin). (iii) Sterilization for Contraceptive Purposes - At present, sterilization of mentally incompetent persons is only legal when it is performed to preserve the physical health of the recipient. This bill would authorize sterilization for contraceptive purposes, providing the physician can ,;affin.; that the person is permanently mrcapab1 .of rearing a child or fulfilling the role -of a parent. This is a highly subjective, criteria and it should be noted that some "intelligent" parents are not capable of fulfilliing the role of a parent either. (iv) Psychosurgery for behaviour control - At present, psychosurgery for behaviour control cannot be performed on involuntary patients (that is patients who have been committed to an institution). The draft legislation would. permit psychosurgery on mentally in- competent persons, whether in- voluntary patients in an institution or otherwise. The bill provides that, before the above four procedures can be per - Bill Smiley... •frompage4 Dane out shining shoes, but they won't be ready for another ten years.

Each child who registers receives a ° READ-a-thon kit. The child then reads books of his choice and obtains pledges- from family,' friends, and neighbors. The child reads as many books as he cares to and gets as many pledges as he wishes. At the end of the program, usually a four to six week reading period, a drawing is held to award prizes to children who complete the program. The program was originated and developed • by the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada in 1977. It has gained the en- thusiastic acceptance of the International Reading Association, the Canadian Library Association, as well as support from thousands of school superin- tendents, principals, teachers, librarians, medical and legal experts as well as at least one lay person. The official guardian must also be notified.
