Why Death Need Not Be "Reasonably Foreseeable"-The Proposed Legislative Response to Truchon and Gladu v Attorney General (Canada) and Attorney General (Quebec) [2019] QCCS 3792.

Abstract

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) has become an inescapable reality in Canada since the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) declared in Carter v Canada (Attorney General) ([2015] 1 S.C.R. 331) (Carter) that the blanket prohibition on physician assisted dying was unconstitutional. Instead of prescribing the regulatory criteria to control the provision of MAID, the SCC invited the respective federal and provincial governments to establish the legislative framework (Carter, [127]).
