A Montreal couple is calling for disciplinary measures against a psychologist they say counselled one of them to kill the terminally ill other.
When Miranda Edwards was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer she said she was determined to fight it.
“I want to live, I want every medical intervention possible,” she said. “I will fight to the end. I will do every treatment, everything possible to stay alive.”

Margaret Dore Speaks at Euthanasia Prevention Coalition Symposium, Speech Highlights
Washington State and Oregon
I am a licensed attorney, or lawyer, whatever term you want to use, in Washington state, USA, where we do have legal assisted suicide. And in the fine print, our bill, and all of the Oregon-style bills, also allow euthanasia. And that's because there’s no requirement of self-administration. Oregon's law doesn’t even use the word, "self-administer. " [The other side’s claim that it does, is] propaganda.
And Washington's law says “may” self-administer.

The scandalous claims, as yet untested in court, are among the first major court challenges to the law, created in 2016 by the federal government in response to a Supreme Court ruling [Carter] that struck down the criminal ban on assisted suicide. ...
