Written Reasons, Concurring on the Appeal, Concurring in part and Dissenting in part on the Cross-appeal, by:

The Honourable Mr. Justice Lambert (pp. 67-89, paras. 101-139)

Reasons for Judgment of the Honourable Madam Justice Saunders:

[1] This case concerns the rights of children to receive state funded health services to ameliorate the effects of a seriously disabling affliction.Ý It engages consideration of ss. 1, 7 and 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the ancient protective parens patriae jurisdiction of the courts and modern standards of child protection evidenced, for example, in the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child.

[2] A small but significant percentage of children develop autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurobehavioural syndrome that destines almost all whom it strikes to a life of isolation and eventual institutionalization.

[3] Effective treatment for autism or ASD has been elusive.Ý Yet there is now a general mode of therapy which offers promise of reducing the pernicious effects of autism or ASD.Ý This treatment is a form of early intensive behavioural intervention, a model of which was developed by Dr. Lovaas and colleagues at the University of California.

[4] The infant petitioners have all been diagnosed with autism or ASD.Ý The adult petitioners, parents of the infant petitioners, contend in this action that treatment in the nature of that applied by Dr. Lovaas is the only form of treatment that holds a reasonable prospect of alleviating the symptoms and of allowing the infant petitioners to avoid a life of isolation and institutionalization.Ý They sought and were refused financial assistance from the Provincial Crown to fund such treatment.Ý They care not whether the assistance is offered under the health or education portfolio, but as the decision appealed addressed the issue as one of health care, that is the framework of this appeal.

[5] Certain of the petitioners commenced the proceedings as a class action, contending that the provincial refusal to fund treatment of autistic children or children with ASD breached s. 15 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.ÝÝ Madam Justice Allan dismissed the application for certification under the Class Proceedings Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 50, and allowed an application by the respondents to deal with the proceedings summarily as if brought under the Judicial Review Procedure Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 241.Ý Her reasons are reported at (1999), 12 Admin. L.R. (3d) 261 (Auton No. 1).Ý Consequent upon that order, the petitioners filed a Further Amended Statement of Claim which stands as the petition.Ý In it they sought declarations that the denial of funding for Lovaas Autism Treatment was a violation of s. 7 and of s. 15 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, an order in the nature of mandamus to fund both past and future treatment, damages for failure to pay the cost of Lovaas Autism Treatment, and alternatively, an order under s. 24(1) of the Charter for indemnification for the cost of past and future Lovaas Autism Treatment.

[6] As the case was heard summarily, evidence was received in the form of affidavits and expanded by cross-examination.Ý The case was heard in two stages, one dealing with issues of breach of the Charter and one dealing with remedy.Ý Madam Justice Allan, in reasons reported at (2000), 78 B.C.L.R. (3d) 55, [2000] 8 W.W.R. 227 (B.C.S.C.), (Auton No. 2), agreed that the Provincial Crown had violated the s. 15 equality rights of the infant petitioners, and so declared.Ý In her reasons on remedy, reported at (2001), 84 B.C.L.R. (3d) 259, 197 D.L.R. (4th) 165, (Auton No. 3), she ordered certain treatment to be funded and a sum paid to the adult petitioners for what she termed ìsymbolic damagesî for breach of Charter rights.Ý The entered order speaks broadly to the Provincial Crown in these terms:Ý

THIS COURT ORDERS THAT

1.ÝÝ The Petitioners be granted a declaration that the Crown has violated the infant Petitioners' rights under section 15(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms by failing to provide them with effective treatment for their medical condition of autism or autism spectrum disorder in the form of early intensive behavioural intervention and that the violation is not a reasonable limit under section 1 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

And:

THIS COURT ORDERS THAT

1.ÝÝ the Crown is directed to fund early intensive behavioural therapy for children with autism or autism spectrum disorder;

2.ÝÝ the adult Petitioners are each awarded $20,000.00 for monetary damages . . .

OTHER COMMENTS by Donna Young, Natural Birth Education

     Natural Birth Education advocates for prevention of any internal disorders, including autism.   I would like to mention that when organized medical researchers say they have found a genetic disorder, generally, they have likely found a similar vitamin or mineral deficiency or an important gas of sulfur in the cell, or oxygen deprivaty or dehydration of the cells, tested.

     In order to do proper birth education, needed in each community, from K-12, to advanced education, it is essential to educate mothers and fathers to-be, to be informed, that before conception, they should be free of drugs and the mothers should avoid drugs during contraction discomfort and stay away from active management in most hospitals or licensed care births. Alternatives, the choice of the mother, to labor at home, trained, early in her pregnancy how to manage an emergency birth.  (See emergency birth, this web site, that any teenager could handle, and mature woman).  

    Natural birth allows for normal  moving around and having nourishment to keep up a laboring woman's strength and knowing of the benefits to birthing in warm water. It stops hypothermia, cold shocking the child, thus stopping the circulation flow of blood from the placenta to the child's expanding lungs.  When cold rooms are used in birth rooms in hospitals, there is probably motive to the maddness...they get more blood if they say the cord stopped pulsating, quickly.  The warm rooms or the warm water births avoid cold air shock to the child. The placenta cord is then left alone, being red, firm, and pulsating.  No need to clamp it ever. The pioneers did not, neither must any doctor imposed amputation of the placenta and cord...as for possible hidden motives, of harvesting of organ and tissue, blood. All babies can have equal protection of leaving the placenta alone, including premature and c-section born babies.

    Mothers must be educated to avoid any kind of injection or IV hook-ups. IV's are alleged to prevent a mother's dehydration, while in labor.  But there are safer options, such as natural movement and nourishment.

    Injections of any kind are unsafe as to allergic reactions, and the risk of fast and slow virus entering the mothers's system thus, the child's are a possibility, from the site of injection, and the "stuff" in the injection, itself.  Storage can be the problem, and the source of ingredients and care manufacturing the drug.  

     Harmful birth positions that close the birth canal by up to 30 percent.  The supine positions can bruise the child's skull, and can cause broken ribs. These are internal injuries and may be overlooked at birth.  The positions to avoid are the flat on the back and semi-sitting birth positions. The only good of the obstetrician semi-sitting birth bed, is for breast feeding, if the mother wants a semi-sitting position to nurse her baby.  Otherwise, these birth-beds have been known to make the mother vulnerable and her child for meddling of the child's birth.

    Mothers are wiser to birth in warm water, and catch their own babies and protect their lifeline and themselves.  Mothers have legal rights of self-determination and can say no to drugs and say no to clamping off their child's lifeline.  They can assure their baby gets all their whole blood transfused from the placenta-lung-blood-bag to the child's now expanding lungs.  Lungs will take almost all the placenta blood, and that is a fact of observation. (See Dr. Mavis Gunther's research this web site, www.lotusbirth.com)  (See T. Peltonen's research this web site, too).  

SIGNED BIRTH CONTRACTS A RIGHT OF THE MOTHER TO SEEK EARLY IN HER PREGNANCY:

     Mothers are encouraged to have a "signed" birth contract .  This is essential to stop the hospital and their staff, and the doctor from harvesting her baby's whole blood, that will be trapped in the placenta by life-threatening early umbilical cord clamping.  The bogus policies to endanger the child to drugs and early cord clamping, were set by the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC).  They followed the bogus policies set by the Amercian College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).  However, the USA had one U.S.A. doctor, Dr. George M. Morley, to ethically and factually challenge ACOG's Bulletin #216 November 1995, as being what I determined, too, to be bogus.  

    But  NOT ONE Canadian Doctor has challenged the bogus policies of SOGC, Policy #71, December 1998 and Policy #89 May 2000. SOGC's bogus policies on drugs and early clamping are described as "trends", by the Registrar, Dr. Van Alden, of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, of British Columbia. He did nothing to assure doctors did not clamp a pulsating cord, as was the policy stated to me by a Deputy Registrar, in 1999.

ALBERTA AND MOST CANADIAN PROVINCES FOLLOW THE SAME TREND OF HASTY UMBILICAL CORD CLAMPING:

    The Minister of Health and Wellness, the lawyer, Gary Mar, of Alberta also supported the trend of early umbilical cord clamping and the harvesting the baby's blood for the use of experimental work and without informed consent of the Alberta citizens using the Royal Alexander Hospital.  I have posted his personal letter to me.  He did little effort of research as I would have expected of him as a professional person, and as the Minister of Health.

    For your own inquiry, ask those at the RAH for their rate of death of premature babies, such as those who died March 2002, or any mouth. How many premature babies lived, and did these premature babies, who lived from early cord clamping, who have more stem cells then do full term babies, die after blood letting by collecting of 10 to 15 percent total blood volume from the babies already compromised by early clamping. (See Canadian research this web site's references).

     When the babies died, were they then asked to be harvested for their internal organs, too. The parents none-the-wiser their babies were likely targeted for use as second-class citizens, a premature baby under 5-pounds not thought of much value. This is when stem cells for a couple ounces for a desired blood type, and even by race or mixed race groups, can sell for $30,000 on the open market, but not disclosed to the parents, of the motive, behind harvesting of premature babies.  In March 2002, one premature baby did live, early clamping, and early c-section birth.  This is credited to the fact that his mother gave him supplements, Ambrotose by Manatech.  See his picture, as the first "sugar" at www.123-baby-birth.com  This child was 1 1/2 pounds, at birth.  His hole in the heart sealed, naturally, but he alone survived, I am told, of the premature babies born in the RAH, in March 2002.

    USA babies now protected from harvesting of their blood by early cord clamping:  The USA bulletin was cancelled in January 2002, that all American babies be immediate umbilical cord clamping.  However, the Canadian babies are yet being harvested by the bogus policies, set by SOGC, and allowed at all hospitals, in each community, without protest.

     When lay persons contact the government officials and the medical authorities, the powers that be, it is like we are approaching terrorists, they simply do not negotiate and are unapproachable, in most instances.  That includes the MLA's and the MP's, and the Minister of Health, at both the Federal and Provincial levels, and the powers that be, in the communities. This includes City police and the Federal RCMP as to enforcement of protection to children, equally, and their security of person, even if the medical persons, created their own bogus policies to harvest babies, world wide. What is that?  Is this harvesting of babies, endangering their quality of life, and life itself, a political game for higher profits, to those ripping off at the top? Profits from sickness and internal damage.  We are dealing with life and quality of life, and this is a breach of trust to the Canadian citizens and the newborn citizen, so being violated in childbirth handled by those we trust - our family doctor or the friendly midwife.

    Harm of drugs:  Generally, following injections of oxytocin, ( it can be given in drinks and in food too), the doctors and midwives have been directed by the World Health Organization  for them to clamp off the child's circulation system, immediately.  The W.H.O. knew they would be depriving the owner/infant of is/her blood up to  60 percent total blood volume. (See the Nurses Manual, Table of Contents, www.lotusbirth.com/_260.htm

    The early umbilical cord clamping, a harmful and unnecessary procedure, causes oxygen debt to the brain and central nervous system. Hasty clamping does the child no good to be anemic by this unnecessary blood deprivation. The blood harvested for the will and desire and whims of the medical person or institution allowing this harmful practice, and again, without informed consent.  The recreating of the deprived blood may take the child from  6 weeks to 6 months before the child's blood volume and pressure are to what it ought to have been, if early clamping was not done at birth.  (See Policy #71, December 1998, SOGC ).  

    Following the deprivation of babies of 1/2 cup of blood to 1 cup of blood, the placenta itself, as well as the foreskins of circumcised children, are harvested for the choice of donation, (and for compensation) to the hospital and/or to the doctor. They are sent to skin tissue and organ banks.  The collector of the tissue, organs, may   receive as much as $30,000 for a couple ounces of stem cells, but the child is impaired for life. This is the price for a few ounces of stem cells paid by those working in transplant experiments in Sydney, Australia.

    To give an example of the error of judgement in early clamping of the baby's lifeline, is that a 9-pound baby only makes a total volume of 10 ounces (300 ml).  The Cells for Life, Ontario Canada, report they get on the average, from 30-second clamped pulsating cord, an average of collection between  between 60 and 180 ml.  Most cord blood banks do not want donations of less then 60 ml.  

    The cord blood banks only store for a fee stem cells, and do not disclose to the public what they do with the mature red cells, white cells, interferon, plasma, minerals hormones, and enzymes.  This disclosure is not part of the waiver parents sign when they pay to have their baby's deprived blood stored for their member of the family's use, or their child, who may get sick 20 years, after birth, by what was done to the child during the mother's prenatal care, and during the child's birth, and after birth, as to injections and early cord clamping.

    In any situation, premature babies, or full term, c-section born, or vaginal born, to take is 180 ml, from a 9-pound baby, means they have deprived the baby, wrongfully so, even with the consent of the two parents, at least 60 percent of the child's total blood volume. They no longer have a blue ribbon baby, but a baby that is weakened and will reflect, latent, if not early distresses.  Some will be in latent learning and behavior disorders, or finding the child can't be the athlete of his dreams as to a hole in the heart...caused by early clamping of the cord, at birth.  

    This, in my opinion is assault, battery, and attempted murder, and wrongful death, if the child did die, and some do.  The conspiracy of secrecy involves most coroners in each community. It is believed they must cooperate with the system, sometimes told not to investigate by higher officials at Chief Coroner's offices controlled by the Province, State, or Territory.  The coroners, then do not report to the police a wrongful death by more blood trapped in then placenta, then ought to have been in the child.  

    One example, believed of such a circumstances, happened on October 8, 2000, in Dawson Creek, BC.  The baby was under 5-pounds, and premature, and some members of our society think such children are better harvested for blood and organs, then be allowed to live. They may be a burden to themselves, the family, and to society.  Therefore, early clamping is an ideal method to put down the baby down. As for statements of Cells for Life, no pain to the child by early umbilical cord clamping, the experts want us to believe there is not pain by oxygenated blood deprivation.  

    I say, ask anyone having a heart attack if they had pain when their blood flow of oxygenated blood stopped to any one cell.  Did they feel pain?  Of course, they did. Even after a shark bites off a limb, while you feel no pain of the blood running out, shock by blood loss means you may die.  That is true to babies early clamped at birth, for no good benefit to them, at all, or to their mothers to have allowed early clamping of their child's quality of life, for bogus statements to misguide them in a decision to allow hasty clamping.  The reasons must be justified before a court of law, if any reason was given outside of a cord torn, or for err during a placenta previa birth presentation.

     The invasion of privacy are possible, as any one cell or tissue taken reveals genetic and DNA information of both sides of the family.   This is an invasion of privacy, in any case, and the taking of the baby's deprived placenta blood (rich in stem cells, hormones and enzymes needed for continued growth) is generally done without informed consent.  

BRAIN AND NERVOUS DAMAGED CHILDREN OFTEN BECOME VIOLENT, NOT KNOWING RIGHT FROM WRONG, OR CONTROLLING THEIR EMOTIONS:

     When doctors early clamp the cord, or the midwife in home births, they are causing oxygen debt to the brain and central nervous system .  Autism has increased since the 1970's, 1 in 30,000 (World Book Encyclopedia, Vol. A, 913, 1979), to reported to be as of 2004, 1 in 110 of children, under the age of 11. There are also millions of adults with autism.  The information of 1 in 110 victimized children comes from the review by Senator Dan Burton, U.S.A.  He believed his grandchild was one of the victims of toxic mercury vaccinations, multiple shots given his grandson in one day.  These children live a long time, grow to be 6 foot tall, and often become violent to their caretakers, many having to be permanently institutionalized by age 13.  

BIRTH PROCEDURES RECORDS NOT KEPT, DESTROYED AS AN OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE:

     If a medical review of the autistic children were taken, the list of what is perceived as medical invasive active management,  as so stated, above, will be found true, in most instances.  Dr. George M. Morley, of www.cordclamping.com   is one of the first doctors to speak out at conference on Autism November 2002.  He stated, in particular, in association with this brain-disorder is to be found, in all instances, the child was early umbilical cord clamped at birth.  Not all children with autism were vaccinated, but all children outside of later brain injuries by accidents, were early umbilical cord clamped, if confirmed by review of the child's care.

 Sadly, some mothers were given the date-rape drug, Valium, so can't remember or couldn't see what the doctor and nurse were doing.  The medical persons, contrary to duty by standards of their profession, did not record the facts on the child's own medical chart. The medical persons, involved in the birth, did not put up mirrors for the mother's own observations. The medical persons put up sheets to conceal, likely, their intent of their discretion for that child's timing of the clamping of the cord, from visual witness of others in the birth room.

    That is collusion, as from my perspective, in this failure to record the care and treatment to the child's lifeline. This failure of documentation, will be found true world wide.  This collusion of failure to document factually, involves the discarding of the placenta, too.  How, and to whom and where the placenta and blood was discarded, is not recorded, or the amount of blood obtained from the placenta, trapped there by a clamping weapon.

    Was the placenta discarded, as to some persons desires by faith, by burning. Or did the appropriate discarding mean the pragmatic use of tissues, valuable more than gold to the medical fields and their arts of science and experiments.  Most financial institutions bill for expenses and record income received as required accounting procedures.  There is a record of some sort and extra billings by codes to doctors and labs and institutions paid by private sources wanting human tissues, for examples drug companies, research companies, and cosmetic companies.  This is documented in some biology textbooks that failed to note, no informed consent is mentioned or that privacy rights of DNA and genetic information is in the hands of strangers, and no one really knows how information may be used as to any age group, or by sex, or by color or race.  

    It will be found, true, that the early clamping of the functioning organ was done before the placenta was birthed.naturaly, and without drugging the mother with oxytocins.

    The early clamping and the drugs, and risk of virus inserted into the blood stream by any needle insertion to the mother and/or the child, will compound any history of parent or grandparent's lifestyle or habits. This is particularly, genetic, damage of fat soluble marijuana , and alcohol, and other substance abuse, even including prescribed drugs.

    Since the 1960's, society was warned the fat soluble drug, marijuana could cause permanent genetic disorders, up to the 7th generation, even if if all the generations did not do the pot of those grandparents of the 1960's.  The pot was known to cause genetic disorders, smaller organs, and so forth of mice.  The fat soluble pot, that takes 30 days to get out of the system, per joint, was known to cause genetic disruption to the reproduction cells.  In the 1960's the pot strength was about 5 percent, today the street drug is about 15 percent in strength.

    Other indicators of probable cause are the heavy metals, like mercury, a known toxic substance, in vaccinations. These injections can be given to the mother while pregnancy.  And the toxic vaccinations are almost certainly given by injection to the child at birth.  Examples of risk are Vit. K used because of the early umbilical cord clamping, the hospital wanting to encourage clotting of the blood. They took the child's natural platelets by early clamping, plus other whole blood nutrients.  The other example of drug injections of a serious kind, an STD vaccination, is Hep. B. It is given for whatever reasons the hospital imposed this on the child.  It may be that in both injections  were with the heavy metal, mercury, Thimerosal , which is ethyl mercury , used as preservative.  If the man-made oxytocin  was used, it has a harmful substance, chlorobutanol.  This preservative has different spellings.

    There is reason to doubt a heavy metal does the child any good.  Mercury has an atomic number or 80.  Mercury can also attach to other metals such as the iron in the red cells.  Mercury, increasing in molecule size, by attaching to gases and other metals in the child's system, then may cause strokes and heart attacks in the newborn infant.

    If parents want to have prevention of any internal disorder, including Austin, which is worth more then a pound of cure, they best return to Primal Birth Traditions.  This means trying an unassisted births in their own warm water tubs, at home.  Laura Shanley of Unassisted Births, advocates to Keep the professional person out of the delivery room and only call them as and if necessary.

    Dr. Marcel Wagner, a long time advocate of natural birth education, along with others speaking out of the outrageous costs to society for birth process,  says to assure privacy, for a no hand's on birth, to use a door stop. It is a good idea, but not my idea.  Natural birth is recommended mothers with the support of their spouses do have a signed Birth Contract for a hand's off birth. This serves as waiver they have been told about active management, drugs, cutting, c-sections early cord clamping, and have said no thank you.  The mother's choice, supported by her spouse.

    In this way the mother can contract to avoid being actively managed by the political system, that many perceive are mainly for profits, that favor all but the child and the mother and families. These are the opinions of Donna Young, mother and grandmother.  These titles, Mother and Grandmother, are ignored by most professional members of the upper bourgeoise, who by my experience and others sharing to me, (See the Petition, to Protect Babies and Mothers, Too ), are the very ones who do not negotiate and are unapproachable. What do the professionals have to do with the lay persons, they think. Always, the first question a paid government civil servant, with a contract with the government ask you, and now the elected officials in the communities, ask, what is your profession, or what group are you with.  They have undermined the duty of equal protection and to deal with concerns of harm to any individual in the community, regardless of age, sex, race, color, faith, or mental or physical disadvantage. The oaths of the elected mean nothing, apparently, and the tenants of the Constitution are not studied in school and ethics and duty of those contracting for services with the government's for their cut of the public's purse money.  

    I have found in most cases I have asked questions on a compromised child, that active management, was involved by uninformed consent.  It other words, it is like a terrorists surprise attacks on the child.  Such surprises one might expect from any well organized terrorist group.  When you have concealment of discarding of the placenta and the blood contained in it, world wide, and the concealment or failure of documentation on the cord when clamped and its condition and reason for early clamping documented, we see trained consistency of missing information at each community hospital and by each nurse who ever worked in a nursery, or delivery room, and does currently home births, in any Nation.
