Mémoire: Concernant la suspension définitive de l’extension de l’AMM pour les troubles mentaux

Cardus adresse cette contribution à l'AMAD pour lui demander de suspendre l'extension de l'aide médicale à mourir aux personnes dont la seule affection médicale sous-jacente est un trouble mental. Cette extension compromettrait les efforts de prévention du suicide et aggraverait la vulnérabilité de certains groupes, tels que les Premières Nations ou les personnes handicapées.
