Thank you.
Dr. Henderson, what we're hearing from you this evening is that we need to wake up. I fully agree with your call for better health care.
I'd like you to explain to me what you mean when you say “autonomy trumps all” in advocating for, say, medical assistance in dying as opposed to palliative care.
As far as I know, individual self-determination is enshrined in law, and in matters of health, no one can intervene with a patient without their free and informed consent. That's what autonomy and self-determination trump all means, even in emergency situations.
