This is actually not possible per the requirements set out in the legislation; I suspect the poster didn't get the full picture. It's always possible an individual doctor can ignore the system and do whatever but I doubt it when there's a legal path for this spelled out.

Grief on its own isn't sufficient for assisted dying.

>> Grief on its own isn't sufficient for assisted dying

Who are you to make that call?

I don't make any calls related to assisted dying; I'm referring to what the law states.

> How can they differentiate between grief and actual clear thinking desire

Personally I don’t think they should. Only I know what’s in my head.

I think my rules would be:

1. Terminal diagnosis at any age - No questions asked.

2. Over 70 - No questions asked — just request MAID and get it.

3. Over 50 but under 70 - Have to request MAID 2 times, separated by 1 month waiting period. Waiting period resets after a year.

4. Under 50 - Have to request MAID 3 times, each separated by 1 month waiting period. Waiting period resets after 6 months.

I’d also be in favor of no questions asked at all in any situation.
