... when a person has not issued directives or expressed his will with respect to his end-of-life conditions, the State must step in and the State must essentially act with a view to protecting and maintaining life. That is the philosophy of the role of the State with respect to maintaining life in a common law system; the same holds true for rules governing abortion and end-of-life decisions. 2, record 1, English, - end%2Dof%2Dlife%20decisions

Au Canada, les décisions de fin de vie, en pédiatrie, sont principalement prises par les parents, sauf si l'enfant a plus de 14 ans [...] La décision résulte d'un consensus entre le patient, s'il est apte, les parents, parfois la famille élargie et l'ensemble de l'équipe soignante par le biais du médecin réfèrent. Elle se fait après un entretien éclairé avec le médecin réfèrent sur la pathologie, ses traitements et son pronostic. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9cisions%20de%20fin%20de%20vie
