Not so long ago, when a person was faced with an incurable illness or degenerative condition, they had no choice but to wait for the time to come.<\/p>\n<p>Today, access to end-of-life care allows everyone to choose how they want to live their lives\u2014and, above all, to choose when it is time to say goodbye. For Mr. Fortin, this freedom of choice is directly linked to the idea of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urgelbourgie.com\/en\/blogue\/grief\/dignity-of-the-deceased-a-fundamental-right-for-all\/\">dignity of the deceased<\/a>, which Urgel Bourgie\/Athos considers a fundamental right to which everyone should have access:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cWe spend our lives making choices. We choose what we want to do for work, where we want to travel, what we want to eat, how we want to dress. So why, at the final stage of the transition from life to death, should we not have a choice? Human beings belong to no one.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mitchel Fortin emphasizes, with a strong nuance, that \u201cwe now have the \u2018opportunity\u2019 to choose,\u201d echoing the law on end-of-life care that governs medical aid in dying in Quebec, before adding that <strong>\u201cthe law has finally given us the power and dignity to choose for ourselves.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As presented by the Quebec government, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quebec.ca\/en\/health\/health-system-and-services\/end-of-life-care\/act-respecting-end-of-life-care\">Act Respecting End-of-Life Care<\/a> consists of a \u201ccomprehensive and integrated approach\u201d of the care surrounding a person&#8217;s final moments. Its objective is to promote access to quality care in order to \u201cprevent and alleviate the suffering\u201d that the person may experience. End-of-life care includes palliative care, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quebec.ca\/en\/health\/health-system-and-services\/end-of-life-care\/medical-aid-in-dying\">medical aid in dying<\/a>, and advance medical directives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"575\">\n<blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000;\">History of medical aid in dying in Quebec<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In 2007, the <a href=\"https:\/\/aqdmd.org\/en\/\"><em>Association qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise pour le droit de mourir dans la dignit\u00e9 <\/em><\/a>(AQDMD) was founded. Then, in 2009, a Quebec parliamentary commission on the issue of dying with dignity was created. The resulting report, tabled in 2012, determined that Quebec parliamentarians were in favor of introducing legislation on end-of-life care, including medical aid in dying.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, Quebec passed Bill 52, which gave rise to Bill 2, allowing a person who meets the eligibility criteria to obtain medical aid in dying.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, access to medical aid in dying was expanded in Canada. Then, in 2023, Quebec passed a law allowing people with neurodegenerative cognitive diseases to make an advance request for medical aid in dying.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>The evolution of funeral services in light of medical aid in dying<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Access to medical aid in dying has definitely had an impact on the role of Urgel Bourgie \/ Athos funeral experts. But the team has adapted to offer everyone the support they need. As Mr. Fortin explains, the support is aimed not only at the person planning their final departure, but also at their loved ones:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cWe are facing a different reality today.

It&#8217;s a choice that belongs to the person themselves, but it still affects their loved ones, who in some cases have difficulty accepting this decision.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Urgel Bourgie \/ Athos team is fully trained and has the appropriate resources to guide those planning their final arrangements, as well as to support their loved ones.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Support from Urgel Bourgie \/ Athos: from the final moments to the final resting place<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When faced with a loss, whether expected or unexpected, Mitchel Fortin and his team are ready to guide you through every step of the process. \u201cWe support families before, during, and after,\u201d says the general manager.<\/p>\n<p>However, when it comes to planned end-of-life care, they know how to adapt their support to offer the person and their loved ones a final moment filled with love and warmth. In addition to organizing funeral ceremonies and celebrations of life, Urgel Bourgie \/ Athos can also take care of the final farewell for a person seeking medical aid in dying. Mr. Fortin adds:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;We are here to support you and help you create a moment that reflects who you are.
