Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Dr. Davies.
I know that access to medical assistance in dying has not yet been extended to mature minors, Dr. Davies, but I would like you to base your answer to my question on your experience in palliative care.
At the point when a young patient's autonomy and vulnerability are assessed, how can we be sure that what they are saying reflects their own autonomy and that they have not, instead, been influenced by the conversations they have had with their parents, who might have stressed the fact that they are suffering and that treatment has not had the results hoped for, for example? How can an assessor get an idea of the autonomy of the young person in question?
