CBC Forum: What should the rules be around medical assistance in dying?
-
There has been a lot of research, especially done by psychologist Daniel Gilbert, about how accurate we are at predicting our future feelings. Turns out, we're awful at it, and often over-estimate future pain/sadness. I am in support of physician-assisted suicide, but I do not think people should be able to make advanced decisions about it more than a year in advance.
