Thank you very much.
My next question is for Dr. Barbès-Morin.
Paragraph 241.2(1)(c) of the Criminal Code stipulates that to be eligible for medical assistance in dying, a person must “have a grievous and irremediable medical condition.” This means “enduring physical or psychological suffering that is intolerable to them and that cannot be relieved under conditions that they consider acceptable“, as the Code further states.
Are there treatments for some illnesses or mental health problems that the patient may consider unacceptable, but that could relieve intolerable suffering?
