Canada has approved assisted dying for a few years now. There are many pros a d cons to this subject.Sheila has a valued point when she mentions elderly people may use it because they feel they are in the way.Stan has a very a very valued point, to end suffering when no chance of surviving, personally I went through the interview process and was deemed not qualified YET., The interview was conducted in two phasis. 1st interviewd by a government LAy person with two independent of each other witnesses.whole serious of questions of my competancy. 2nd Interview by a highly qualified doctor questioned for aproximately one hour in each case. Both submitted their analasis of my request to a 3rd party. Who ade the final decision.my medical file was also part of the equation. Their decision I wasn't a candidate at this time. They would keep in touch which they have. But Sheila has a very a very valued point of a person using the programme because they feel they are a nusience and in the way.Medicaly Assisted Dying can be very complex though it is widley acceptable in Canada.
