520 _aAccording to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, our bodies should be ours to control, free from state interference. But how is this principle applied in Canada? Do the terminally ill have the right to ask for assistance in dying? Can physicians insist that their patients must have certain medical treatments? Must the mentally ill do what their doctors believe is best for them or can they decide to opt out of treatment? These are difficult ethical and legal dilemmas that we are still in process of resolving as Canadians. Right now euthanasia, for example, is still illegal in Canada, but a B.C. Supreme Court decision has recently overturned a ban on assisted suicide. Legal expert Daniel Baum examines what safeguards that the Charter offers us as Canadian citizens about our right to opt out of taking medications, accepting medical treatments, being forcibly confined because of mental illness, and asking for assistance if we or our loved ones wish to be allowed to die.
