1. BC주에서 77세 알츠하이머를 앓는 할머니를 남편으로부터 보호하라는 법원 판결이 나왔어.
A BC court just stepped in to protect a 77-year-old grandma with Alzheimer's from her very own husband.2. 진짜 좀 충격적인 사건이야.
This whole situation is honestly beyond shocking3. 이 남편은 조력 사망(MAID, Medical Assistance in Dying)의 강력한 지지자였는데, 아내를 위해 “죽음 계획”이란 걸 세웠대.
This husband was a massive supporter of assisted dying and had actually cooked up a “death plan” for his wife4. 아내가 조력 사망 자격을 잃게 되면 자기가 직접 아내의 생을 끝내고, 본인도 따라가겠다는 계획이었던 거지.
The idea was that he’d take matters into his own hands if she lost MAID eligibility, then follow her to the grave.5. 근데 정작 아내분은 이 계획에 동의한 적이 없고, 오히려 딸한테 “남편이 나를 죽이려고 한다”고 말할 정도로 두려워했다고 해.
But she never actually signed up for this and was so scared she told her daughter her husband was trying to take her out6. 결국 2021년에 조력 사망 자격이 없다는 판정을 받았는데, 본인도 기억력이 나빠지는 걸로 죽고 싶지 않다고 밝혔어.
She ended up being ruled ineligible for MAID back in 2021, and she made it clear she didn't want to die over her memory slipping away.7. 보건 당국이 이 “죽음 계획”의 위험성을 감지하고 법원에 할머니의 보호를 요청했어.
Health officials picked up on the risk of this “death plan” and petitioned the court to keep the grandma safe.8. 남편은 장례 절차, 묘지 준비, 유산 분배까지 다 준비하고 있었다고 하더라고.
Word is the husband had mapped everything out from funeral arrangements and cemetery spots to the distribution of the inheritance.9. 법원은 결국 남편이 아내의 법적 대리인으로 부적합하다고 보고, 딸을 새로운 대리인으로 지정했어.
The court ultimately ruled that the husband was unfit to be his wife’s legal representative and appointed their daughter instead10. 할머니는 현재 안전한 시설에 머물고 계신대.
The grandma is being kept safe in a secure facility for now
