Thank you for the question.
In my brief, I propose very clear guidelines, that have an objective basis and adhere to the principle of self-determination and the choice made by the patient when they are still competent to make it. I can describe the process, very briefly. After meeting with their physician, the patient would give the physician a signed request form. In the request, which would have to be renewed after a certain period of time, the patient would determine, in their own judgment, the objective criteria stating the point at which, having become incompetent, they would be in a state of indignity. The patient should also designate a third party whose mandate would be, not to determine that the time had come, but to call on the treatment team, quite simply, to have them do the assessment to see whether the time, as predefined by the patient, had come. I think that is something we are capable of putting in place very easily.
