Dr. Pageau maintained that a person with dementia should not have access to medical assistance in dying, even if they had made an advance request for it. He said that such access would be unethical, because, in another context, that person would not necessarily make the same decision. In his opinion, this was therefore a contradiction. The two don't go together, they don't go hand in hand.
What do you think about that position, Ms. Gwartz?
