The “Facing a Future with Assisted Suicide” webinar hosted by Citizens With Disabilities was a success! The panel was moderated by Dr. Eric Wasylenko, of the Health Quality Council of Alberta and the Dosseter Centre of Health Ethics, and bakerlaw’s David Baker participated on the “expert panel”. For more information about the webinar see our earlier post here (link to earlier post). The draft legislation discussed during the webinar, was shared with the provincial/territorial panel assigned to create appropriate legislation following the Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling to legalize physician assisted dying.
