But I think people should make whatever decisions they want to.

Canada's Health Care is free, we pay very little. Walk into a hospital, get a few tests done, walk out. We are safe to receive the medical care that we need free of charge.

I think it should be reserved for the terminally ill or those who have a documented illness with no prognosis of getting better that causes a lot of physical pain and possibly psychological anguish. I think the only exception to the "physical pain" rule should be dementia.

The Supreme Court is deciding what does fall under circumstances for assisted suicide, they want to protect those who are in fact suicidal. If you read the first small paragraph of the article it states that.

Furthermore, 84% of Canadians are in favor for doctor-assisted suicide and not many know but what actually started this debate to rise to the Supreme Court is because of the high importance of what happened in British Columbia British Columbia had votes showing 90% to agree to doctor-assisted suicide.

If you take a look at the percentiles of the votes and what they voted for and against, many of your answers will be answered.

The Supreme Court of Canada isn't going to allow a bill to pass without the safety of others and who might be in danger because of this bill. Many Canadians have pushed the Supreme Court to do something for the last few years. It was brought up back in 1993 but nothing happened.
