(BioEdge) — Euthanasia in Quebec has reached seven percent of deaths, the highest in the world. Nonetheless, the head of the province’s Commission on End-of-Life Care, Dr. Michel Bureau, found it necessary to email a veiled rebuke to MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) doctors in Quebec.

According to Radio Canada, he said that there are too many euthanasia deaths administered at the limit of legal conditions and that there have been a number of MAiD deaths that have not complied with all the conditions of the legislation. He had to remind doctors that old age is not a serious and incurable condition – a criterion for a legal MAiD death.
Bureau declared that a deviation from the rules can turn into a slippery slope, especially since his commission is reviewing an increasing number of requests for MAID.
He felt it necessary to insist that the opinion of a second doctor is a necessary requirement for a legal MAiD death. Doctor shopping for a favourable second opinion is not acceptable, he said.
