I think her testimony is about all we need to know about how important it is to have advance requests. I think she presents the biggest dilemma in the whole area of advance requests, and that is for people with dementia where they are in favour of MAID.
Again, if they choose while they're competent to take advantage of MAID, I don't think there's an issue. That is the experience in the Netherlands, which has a lot of experience with this. Very few of the patients there who are cognitively impaired in fact go on to the point where they cannot make the decision and they rely on others. Most of the folks who are cognitively impaired make that decision before they are no longer competent.
I think in the legislation we need to think through whether or not we will continue to permit advance requests after the person is cognitively impaired.
