Risk-averse assisted-death law fails Canadians who are suffering + comments

The Globe and Mail

 The best that can be said about Bill C-14 (medical assistance in dying) is that it deserves to be graded “incomplete” in fat red marker.

If there’s one thing that we’ve learned from the seemingly endless right-to-die debate, it’s that the courts are not the place where deeply personal medical choices such as hastened death should be arbitrated.

Rather, these decisions should be made solemnly between a patient and a health-care provider and, for the most part, legislators should get the hell out of the way.
