Thank you.
Let's deal with mature minors, then.
With an adult, you're dealing with informed consent, but with a minor, you have the added layer of complication of determining whether they're able to make a decision and whether they even know what informed consent is. That's the challenge. I know there are other countries in which minors have access to medical assistance in dying. I've looked at some of the statistics, the numbers, and from what I can tell, they are very low. Is there data available on the criteria that are used in those countries in making a determination of whether or not somebody is mature enough?
The second part of my question is this: Is there data available about the number of minors who have sought this right to medical assistance in dying and have been refused, so we can get an idea of how well the criteria, to the extent they exist, are actually being applied?
