Her father was George P. Ganley and her mother Gertrude Rowe Ganley. She married Peter Somerville in 1966. She graduated from the University of Adelaide in Pharmacy and the University of Sydney in Law.

She joined McGill’s Faculty of Law as an assistant professor in 1978, became an associate professor in 1979 and was named as the Samuel Gale Professor of Law in 1989. Concurrently, she held appointments in the Faculty of Medicine as an associate professor in 1980 and as a full professor from 1984. In 1986 she became the founding director of the McGill Centre for Medicine, Ethics and Law. Somerville is an internationally renowned figure in the development of applied ethics especially in regards to the areas of medicine and science. Through her research, numerous lectures and speeches, consultations, writings, and interaction with the media, she has examined the impact of science, and medicine on society through the prism of ethics. The issues that she has studied include euthanasia, AIDS, biotechnology, abortion, aging populations and human rights in relation to medical care. An ethical activist, she often engages in public debates on ethical issues. Her publications include The Ethical Canary: Science, Society and the Human Spirit, Death Talk: the Case against Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Suicide and the 2006 CBC Massey Lectures publication, The Ethical Imagination: Journeys of the Human Spirit. Somerville has served as an expert consultant for a number of governmental organizations, including the United Nations and the Canadian government, and non- governmental agencies. She was the chair of the National Research Council’s Human Subject Research Ethics 2 committee as well she has been a member of numerous other committees in the area of ethics. She has also served on editorial boards, foundation boards and advisory boards. She holds several honorary doctorate degrees and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada as well as a member of the Order of Australia.

Without doubt, from a social welfare perspective, the CCF helped build and develop an extensive social welfare system across Canada. It has been justly credited with being one of the major influences over Canadian social welfare policy during the critical years following the Great Depression. This was especially true of the period of the Second World War when the federal Liberal government of Mackenzie King adroitly borrowed CCF policy planks to remove the harsh edges of capitalism and put Canada on the path to a modern Welfare State.

  • Irreconcilable Differences: the Corporatization of Canadian Universities
    Irreconcilable Differences: The Corporatization of Canadian Universities by Jamie Brownlee A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology (Specialization in Political Economy) Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Jamie Brownlee Abstract To date, there has yet to be a comprehensive national study of university corporatization in Canada. This study addresses this gap by reviewing the empirical basis, history, root causes and evolution of the transformation of higher education in Canada that has taken place over the past four decades. In this research, “corporatization” is used to refer to the process and resulting outcomes of the ascendance of business interests, values and models in the university system. Throughout the study, my two primary questions of interest are: (i) how has the corporatization of Canadian universities taken shape?; and (ii) what are the consequences of this restructuring both for higher education and society at large? The study begins with a brief historical review of the relationship between education and various sources of power, as well as some of the competing perspectives that have been used to explain university restructuring. I then review the main manifestations of the corporatization process, beginning with a detailed analysis of the casualization of academic labour. Drawing on a new and unique dataset collected through access to information requests, I provide a detailed account of the rise in the number of part-time and full-time contractually limited appointments in a number of Ontario institutions and discuss some of the impacts of this change.

  • Lived Religion and the Changing Spirituality and Discourse of Christian Globalization: a Canadian Family's Odyssey
    Lived Religion and the Changing Spirituality and Discourse of Christian Globalization: A Canadian Family’s Odyssey MARGUERITE VAN DIE Queen’s University Few individuals have presented a greater challenge to a secular society’s understanding of the past than the missionary. “Once almost universally acclaimed as a self-sacrificing benefactor, he or she is now more com- monly dismissed as an interfering busybody and in all probability a misfit at home who could find only among the colonized a captive audience on whom to impose a narrow set of beliefs and moral taboos.”1 Thankfully, in the three decades since this memorable characterization by Canadian church historian John Webster Grant, research into related areas such as gender and theological change has done much to deconstruct these stereotypes. Recent work on Christian globalization has moreover drawn attention to the ways the missionary enterprise changed religion not simply among the indigenous population, but also at home. Mark Noll, for example, has argued that by the early twentieth century as part of a larger global “multi-centering,” Christianity in North America was subtly shifting away from traditional church and imperial norms towards new models. It is now generally accepted that this re-centering was accompa- nied by an enormous release of evangelical energy, and the impact of an emerging global society profoundly reshaped Christianity.2 My essay builds on Noll’s observations, but rather than focusing on missionary institutions and their spokespersons, it examines from below some of the continuities and changes in the spirituality and discourse of Christian globalization. It does this within the context of three generations Historical Papers 2015: Canadian Society of Church History 114 Spirituality and Discourse of Christian Globalization of a well-to-do Toronto family for whom missions and international travel were a compelling way of life.

And you can watch and listen live on iview, YouTube, Facebook, ABC NewsRadio and Periscope. And our first question comes from Hayley Pollock. OUR RIGHT TO DIE00:22:34 RON FELLOWS My question is to Margaret. I’m 90 years of age. My wife is 81. We’ve decided that we will not go into any kind of aged care facility. And if the time comes where we can’t take care of ourselves, we will look for some form of euthanasia. We’ve told our children about our wishes. They have, albeit reluctantly, agreed that that is relatively effective... Sorry, not effective, but they’ve agreed to our wishes. But you don’t seem to be able to agree, and why? MARGARET SOMERVILLE OK. That’s a big question. You’re talking about what the Dutch are now calling a completed life.

    EOLC Sub 445 Rec'd 20/10/2017 Submission to the Joint Select Committee on End of Life Choices Dr Jeannine Purdy (Principal Research Officer) WA Parliament Harvest Terrace West Perth, WA 6005 Email: [email protected] by Rev Margaret Court AO, MBE Victory Life Centre 1 Neil Street Osborne Park WA Telephone: 08 9212 7111 Website: www.victorylifecentre.com.au 20 October 2017 Dear Chairman Re: Joint Select Committee on End of Life Choices Thank you for the opportunity to lodge a submission on this very important issue. I understand that the End of Life Choices is a debate that is raging throughout this country and the world. Yet I find myself aghast that the Western society has stooped to even consider legally permitting the robbing of life and may possibly micro mismanaged this issue of life and death. To look at death which is the circle of life, we have to realize that life is gift, I believe a gift from God. The Bible states that mankind has been given dominion over the earth, but not dominion over each other. Mankind as an altruistic society serves the best interests of the individual and therefore all: Police, Army, Air force, National Security, medical professionals, SES, government bodies, rush to preserve life and yet we are discussing options on doing the opposite and robbing life from our most vulnerable and marginalised Australians. Australia removed capital punishment decades ago; it was decided that Government and Judicial systems do not have the right to take life and yet the proposal of this committee is do that very thing, in opposition to conscience, duty of care and professional capacity of civil government and its department.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. DEDICATORY ESSAY Margaret Somerville: A Refreshing Challenge George J. Annas* Health law is applied law, the entire body of law applied to the promo- tion of human health and the delivery of medical care. It is accurate, if not flattering, to observe that the vast majority of health law teachers and practitioners are content to take their "applied" discipline as they find it, and spend most of their time and energy describing the intersections of law, medicine, and health care as they occur in the world around us. Mar- garet Somerville is a refreshing challenge to health law's self-satisfied and confining activities, and it has been invigorating to be her friend and col- league over the past two decades. She challenges not only health lawyers but all leaders in the caring professions to act as "the sherpas of the new ideas for the next generation." She insists that we, like sherpas who guide climbers up the mountain, "take responsibility for the safety of those we lead; not to seek recognition and to accept not always to be recognized; to carry burdens for others; to explore; to move forward on the basis of trust, loyalty, honesty, courage and integrity." She sees her mission in life (and that of health lawyers around the world) "to evolve a new para- digm" for the human community, together with the ethics that can inform and shape it.
