When you send us your study, I assume that this information will be in it. Thank you.
Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Schouten. I think that what you experienced was the worst thing that has ever happened to you. Earlier in my life, I worked in palliative care as a family doctor. After having cared for their loved ones, no matter what their age might have been, the families always told us that what they had just experienced—that very short 24-to 48-hour period before death—had been the most powerful time of their life.
After after seeing the photographs and having heard you, I agree that you're right.
I wanted to ask you a few questions. If medical assistance in dying were offered to young people, do you think they would be required to accept it? Everyone is saying that it should be available to them. Do you think young people should be required to accept medical assistance in dying? As parents, would you feel obligated to encourage your son to opt for medical assistance in dying if it was offered to him?
