That's an excellent question.
Sometimes, for example, we get calls from aging parents who have children with intellectual disabilities who are in their fifties. In some cases, the services offered are minimal, or even non-existent, and the parents wonder what will happen to their children once they themselves have died. Sometimes the parents tell us that they would decide to give their children access to medical assistance in dying if they could. It's tragic.
This raises some major issues. These are obviously tragic situations, and the solution probably isn't medical assistance in dying but rather a social response, to provide services, housing and financial security to those disabled individuals, as we mentioned earlier.
As I said, we're unfortunately hearing these things more and more frequently.
