This committee has recently heard testimony that Canada should consider expanding MAID to infants with a life-limiting prognosis in order to address the terrible suffering that those infants might undergo. I must note that I fundamentally disagree with this suggestion because I believe that it devalues persons with disabilities and that no child should have a question mark put over their life because society deems that life to be optional.
Can you tell us about the field of pediatric palliative medicine and whether MAID is the compassionate choice in those situations?
