Before asking my question, I want to put it in context.
I read in the new Quebec law that for people who are severely disabled or incapable of asking for physician-assisted death, a third party could do so for them. There is no more explicit definition, but even though I am not yet an expert in this area, I imagine that that is included in the law. I believe something similar exists in Oregon, or in another state.
Do you have any specific examples of situations, from other states or other countries, where established criteria or parameters would allow a physician to receive a request from a third party, asking for physician-assisted dying on behalf of a severely disabled individual or a person unable to make that request?
