From dementia to medically assisted death: A Canadian woman’s journey, and the dilemma of the doctors who helped

To give Alzheimer’s patient Mary Wilson the death she sought, her physicians had to make a tough decision in a short time – and risked going to prison if they got it wrong. Now they’ve been cleared of wrongdoing in a decision that could have wide-reaching implications for tens of thousands of Canadians.

Wide reaching implications indeed! This is another step down that infamous 'slippery slope' diminishing the value of life. Why?
