Quebec is telling its provincial doctors that they can issue “advance directives” to authorize Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) on unresponsive or mentally ill patients. The Quebec legislature’s Bill 11 allows doctors to administer euthanasia providing the patient had previously offered “advance” permission to do so. Critics say it is another example of Canada’s euthanasia program expanding out of control and into the realm of murder. Because the assisted suicide of a mentally ill patient would qualify as murder under the Criminal Code of Canada, Quebec has told its prosecutors to just ignore the law, the National Post reported.
