Bill C-14, The Medical Assistance in Dying Act

Stephen Duggan | May 18, 2016

Neither the News nor Mr. Reid's generally laudable initiative informs the public that the proposed C-14 legislation does not permit medically assisted suicide - it restricts it to the provisions of the Bill. After June, if this legislation (as it may be amended) is not passed, there will be no law prohibiting medically assisted suicide. Surely those inclined to vote against this legislation should be advised of the drastic consequence of a NO vote.
