The Globe and Mail is continuing its awesome series on end-of-life healthcare. Today, one of the articles summarizes the Rasouli case pending before the Supreme Court of Canada.
The article observes: "If the court declines to hear the appeal, there will be no national guidance when families fight with physicians in hospitals and courtrooms over end-of-life issues." Attorney Mark Handelman is quoted in the article: “As a country, we need to have these debates. But how are we going to do that when nobody wants to talk about it?” Doug White and I expand on just this sort of argument in a piece forthcoming in JAMA.
