> But when medical assistance in dying became [Canadian] law in 2016, excluded were “advance requests” that would have permitted people with dementia to set out terms for their death while they still had capacity to consent.
Tragic. In my country no form of assisted suicide is yet legal, but I've watched my grandmother languish and waste away like this and--should it come to that--I'm firm in my resolve not to subject my family to anything like that experience. People need to have the right to choose to end their own lives with dignity; is "death tourism" a thing?
