The 53-year-old woman traveling from Alberta to BC sought euthanasia after her home province's doctors refused her request, citing distressing symptoms linked to her medication.
Quebec became the first province in Canada to allow advance requests for medical assistance in dying, creating a conflict with federal regulations on the issue.
Critics express concern that the rise in medical assistance in dying cases may reflect social inequalities, with people feeling compelled to choose euthanasia due to financial hardships.
The court's injunction prohibits any medical professional from assisting the Alberta woman in dying for the next 30 days, amid ongoing debates surrounding euthanasia in Canada.
