In Quebec, the question shifts from DWD/PAS to assisting death as part of end-of-life palliative care

CEC members have discussed many times the impact of use of language and terminology; the headlines might have sensationalized the topic by claiming "Quebec report calls for euthanasia legislation".   Euthanasia is often seen as death caused by others; DWD/PAS supporters would point out that the patient is initiating the action.  It is a difficult enough topic without bringing in loaded words, but the quotes do include euthanasia as the term used in the discussions.   Interestingly, local supporters of PAS (Living with Dignity) don't support the change in approach.
