My point is that we could be heading in that direction anyway. It's possible if court cases continue to evolve in this way. I wanted to see if there was any difference in how the court handled this case and how it would have been handled under Mr. Casson's law. In fact, in both cases the terminal illness will be found to be a factor that should be looked at. In both cases the best interest of the child is the overriding factor. In this particular case, if this bill had been law, the result may in fact have been the exact same outcome.
