Someone suggested there are no protections in this C-14 for the vulnerable, which, of course, is absurd. One of them is the eight conditions listed in 241.2(3), so-called safeguards, one of which, Dr. Smith, is to provide the opportunity to withdraw consent at the end and in a sense require you to confirm your consent to receive medical assistance in dying at the very last, immediately before the medical assistance in dying is provided. I'd like your views on whether that's workable in the real world of morphine drips and intense pain at the end of life. Is that workable, in your judgment?
