Thank you for that.
Dr. Smith said in his testimony that you have to look at the patient as a whole. He seemed to focus almost singularly upon suffering, but the last time I checked the Criminal Code and looked at the definition of what constitutes an “irremediable” condition, “intolerable” suffering is one of the three criteria, but it is not the only criteria. The upper two are an “incurable illness” and there being an “irreversible” state of decline.
As I understand what you're saying, it's not possible to determine if there is an incurable illness and that the patient is in an irreversible state of decline, because there's always the possibility to get better. Therefore, it's not possible to establish irremediability. Am I correct?
