In Belgium, as you said, they say that the point at which the advance consent is activated is when the person is no longer able to make the decision. I am thinking of my mother-in-law; she is not unconscious, but she said all her life that she did not want to live in the circumstances she now finds herself in. As the law now stands, we cannot do anything.
Following the submission of the report of the Select Committee on Dying with Dignity, Quebec seems to want to go in the same direction. Do you think this is actually the time to put advance consent into practice?
