Canadian Lawyer Magazine quotes Toronto lawyer Victoria Mitrova in an article on new MAID legislation.
For individuals whose death is reasonably foreseeable, certain safeguards have now been modified, says Victoria Mitrova, an associate and corporate-commercial lawyer with a focus on health care at Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP in Toronto.
“Some modifications that have been eased are for those whose death is reasonably foreseeable,” says Mitrova. There was a 10-day waiting period between when a request for the procedure was made and when the actual procedure could occur; that waiting period has now been eliminated.
