Abstract

The present state of the law in relation to dying persons is in a state of uncertainty primarily because there has not yet been a clear jurisprudential indication of the meaning to be given to a certain number of sections of the Canadian Criminal Code dealing with the subject. I propose to briefly discuss the law as it now exists and to refer to a working paper (No. 28) of the Law Reform Commission of canada called "Euthanasia, Aiding Suicide and Cessation of Treatment".
