Thank you.
Dr. Verhagen and Dr. Beck, I'm going to circle back to decision-making abilities.
Some practitioners tell us that when a mature minor experiences illness, a synergy or symbiosis starts to develop within their family. So when the minor claims to want medical assistance in dying and wishes to go through with it, very rarely do the parents oppose it and attempt to impose their wishes, even if they are suffering over it.
At the end of the day, is it fair to say parents should be consulted, but obtaining their consent should not be mandatory?
