The problem in Canada on this issue is constitutional...the federal government has passed the law authorizing Doctor assisted dying, but it is up to the provinces to create the protective structure within which those decisions and that assistance will be provided.

The question is whether those who grasp the dangers, including the Catholic Church, will expend their energy opposing a done deal or expend them supporting protective structures.

It's abortion all over again--do you work to legally prohibit it or to reduce the need for it.

Time will tell.
