Time Text
We are also seeing an explicit push for euthanasia for, they're not referred to as children, they're referred to as mature minors in the b debate around euthanasia.
And the head of the Quebec College of Physicians and Surgeons testified before Parliament that he thinks it's important that MAID be considered for children with severe deformities and abnormalities, as he put it.
And the leading euthanasia lobby in Canada has suggested MAID be expanded to those mature minors who they think have the capacity to consent, maybe along with a parent or guardian agreeing, but are able.
So this is an actual conversation in the policy space across Canada.
And we already see the elimination of the requirement for consent with the euthanasia of persons with dementia who might make an advance request, but then are unable to really change their mind.
