CMA calls for national dialogue on end-of-life care

The Canadian Medical Association says we need to have a national dialogue about end-of-life care, including euthanasia and physician-assisted death.
The CMA has released a report on end-of-life care after holding five public town hall meetings across the country, as well as online discussions.
CMA president Louis Hugo Francescutti says the message came through loud and clear that Canadians don’t want to die in pain, or be a burden to their loved ones.
Physician-assisted death is currently illegal in Canada, but last week Quebec passed its landmark right-to-die bill — bill 52 — setting up a potential legal challenge from Ottawa.
