Thank you.
You should know that, in Quebec, all publicly funded institutions are required to provide medical assistance in dying. Only palliative care facilities, or hospices, had the option of not providing it. There are 34 of them.
Since the legislation came into effect, half of those hospices now provide medical assistance in dying. For the other half, there are still requests for medical assistance in dying, but those patients are simply discharged from the facility and sent to a public facility to die elsewhere. This is because they dared to apply for medical assistance in dying on the sole basis that they no longer wanted to tolerate their suffering.
In my opinion, what is shameful right now is the way these patients are treated.
