It also would allow the individual requesting it to change their mind. It also re-ensures that there be no pressure from others.
If you look at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice's position that came out six days ago, they are suggesting that some of the safeguards would be that family and friends be brought into the dialogue. Where is the individual who wants physician-assisted dying in this picture when you're pushing those kinds of structural barriers?
