Medically assisted dying : Canada tables legislation to broaden accessibility criteria
Article
Canada’s government has tabled new legislation that would remove some of the restrictions placed on medical aid in dying, most notably the requirement that applicants suffer from a terminal condition which makes their death “reasonably foreseeable.”
The new bill will also permit eligible patients to ask for a medically assisted death in advance directives—and to have that wish respected even if they are no longer mentally able to give informed consent at time of death.
