We really believe that physician-assisted dying is the responsibility of family physicians. That said, I would not say that it is exclusively their responsibility. For instance, nurse practitioners who are working in more rural or remote regions should also be authorized to provide that assistance, especially if their professional body is prepared to include the process in their scope of practice.
For an informed decision to be made, I think that a consultation with a family physician, based on a consensus process the patient is involved in, is completely appropriate.
