The Senate has already stated that they intend to amend the bill to allow for: advanced directives, more open criterion (mental illness etc.), 'grievous suffering' in place of advanced state). In short, they intend to match the conditions set by the SCC decision last year. Further, there are already lawsuits before the court (first one came from Alberta) to eliminate the conditions inserted by the House of Commons on the grounds that they are unconstitutional. Fr.

They must also be in an “advanced state of irreversible decline in capability” and their death must be “reasonably foreseeable.”<br /><br />Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15109458923860112875noreply@blogger.com
