    In Canada, nobody can decide it for you, even if you have a Representation Agreement, which is the medical do decisions.

    You need to go through at least two independent psychological assessments and you need to be legally totally sound of mind. So if you take too long to make the decision and you have something like dementia, you’re not allowed to have a medically assisted death.

    This is why I find it so crazy when people freak out about it here. Like we have so many hoops through jump through, it’s not something that you can just walk into an office and a doctor will just shoot you up.

      TBF the uproar is from people who also believe children are getting sex changes at elementary school.
