With the medical technology of today, it is possible to keep a person alive, even if brain dead, by the use of life support machines and other life sustaining equipment.

You could be the most vile person on earth but if you are a Canadian citizen you have certain rights.” Knowing this, it is easy for Canadians to demonize Khadr all these years because he is a Canadian citizen.
