It's hard to generalize, but as a rule, no. Most Canadians aren't really aware of palliative care, for example, until they happen to encounter it themselves or with a family member. The same is true for medical assistance in dying. A lot of the more vulnerable people haven't had the opportunities to have the same kind of education in health literacy as many other more fortunate Canadians. One of the reasons is that it's usually those of higher socio-economic and higher educational status who would opt for medical assistance in dying.
We have to do our best to educate them about their options, and if they express this wish to hasten death, then they have that right, like an option for any medical treatment. In this country they have a right to know about medical assistance in dying, but it's very important that we assess their vulnerability in a comprehensive way. That's why I stressed earlier that our education and competency in being able to assess this comprehensively is a critical issue.
