First of all, the term “grievous and irremediable” is not a term that is littered throughout either the criminal law or medical practice. It's not generally been defined, and it's not defined by the Supreme Court of Canada decision.
Nonetheless, it's clearly not meant to apply to transient conditions. As the court notes, and as was noted by ministers earlier, individuals through this bill still have the right to refuse treatment they find unacceptable. It's meant to distinguish between conditions that are transient and conditions that are not. It is not meant to signify that an individual has to take treatment that they find unacceptable to themselves. As was said earlier, the bill must be read as a totality.
