That's very well taken.
We've been discussing provincial laws that allow children below the age of 18 to consent to medical procedures if the medical professional is convinced that they have the capacity to understand the treatment and what it may mean. Some of these could be very serious medical interventions.
I take note of your point about the lack of supports that exist. Those have been very well documented. However, if we were to arrive at a situation where a child has, in fact, had access to the full range of supports and is in a state of intolerable suffering with an incurable disease, what's your understanding of a child's ability to give that kind of consent when it is already an established right under provincial law for medical interventions?
