In a landmark decision, the Canadian government has approved Robert Munsch, a well-known author, for assisted dying. Munsch, diagnosed with both dementia and Parkinson’s disease, has been granted access to a medication that allows him to request assistance with ending his life. The decision follows a lengthy legal process and reflects a shift in Canada’s approach to palliative care and end-of-life choices. The Canadian legal framework allows individuals with terminal illnesses to request assisted dying under specific conditions, guided by medical and ethical considerations.
