Two independent medical professionals have to certify the patient is seriously and irredeemably ill and that he/she understands the consequences of his decision. Unless the patient’s death is reasonably foreseeable, there must be a 90 day waiting period. The patient can revoke the request at any time for any reason. And they must be continuously informed of this.

The major point to the Daily Signal article is that euthanasia is being aggressively pushed on people. (Ever heard of "coercion"?) Of course, the government will cover it's sorry butt and get people to sign a piece of paper. That's a foregone conclusion.
But why are health authorities also pushing this on poor people? Is this Canada's way of leveling the economic playing field?
I mean....it is an efficient way of keeping the welfare costs down, right? Just convince the poor people that sewer rats are worth far more than they are and get them feeling all depressed about themselves so that they'll sign off on getting a free one-way ticket to the graveyard.
Such socialist compassion...
