Dr. Matthew Dor?:

To be clear, we will look after absolutely anyone, of any belief and in any circumstances. What Senator Ruane is asking is slightly different. Should we be complicit in doing it? The answer to that is, "No". The position is that this should be out with palliative care medicine in its entirety.

The ethoses interact. They do not work in the same way. We, as people said, instil value and worth in people. In fact, our society does. That is why we have suicide prevention, etc.

What one is asking people, hospices and palliative care to do then is to self-assess the value and worth. Only 1% to 2% of Canadians do this, so 99% or 98% do not. You have to have a conscientious clause for the 98%.
