I have before me “Standard of Practice: Physician-Assisted Death” from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia. At section 5, which contains the eligibility criteria, it says the patient must be an adult. When I turn to section 11, which contains definitions, it defines adult as “a person who is 19 years or older”.

It would seem that the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia does have a position. Could you explain that?
