They may get a prognosis and think they will feel a certain way about things at that point in time. It is important to underline that the reason we generally do not have advance consent is because people do not always know what their experience of that will be.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066467\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nonetheless, I want to be very clear. What I would propose as a middle way between having no advance consent and the advance consent regime proposed in the legislation is to allow people to give advance consent, but to still require, even at the point at which they may have lost capacity, some contemporaneous consultation with them, so even at a point of reduced capacity they are told what is happening and will be given the opportunity to assent or not. Even at the point at which they have lost capacity, it is still fair to them to give them some information about what is happening in order to give them the ability to express their objection, if they are able to in the context of limited capacity.</p>",

Ils peuvent obtenir un pronostic et s'imaginer qu'ils se sentiront d'une telle fa\u00e7on le moment venu. Ainsi, il est important de pr\u00e9ciser que si les gens n'ont habituellement pas recours au consentement pr\u00e9alable, c'est parce qu'ils ne savent pas toujours comment ils se sentiront lorsque leur maladie progressera. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066467\" data-originallang=\"en\">N\u00e9anmoins, je veux \u00eatre tr\u00e8s clair. Ce que je proposerais comme solution interm\u00e9diaire entre l'abolition du consentement pr\u00e9alable et le r\u00e9gime de consentement pr\u00e9alable pr\u00e9vu dans le projet de loi, c'est de permettre aux patients d'avoir recours au consentement pr\u00e9alable, mais d'exiger malgr\u00e9 tout qu'ils soient consult\u00e9s le moment venu, m\u00eame s'ils ont perdu leurs facult\u00e9s, pour qu'on leur explique ce qui se passe et qu'ils donnent ou non leur assentiment. M\u00eame s'ils ont perdu leurs facult\u00e9s, il demeure l\u00e9gitime de leur donner quelques informations sur ce qui se passe afin de leur permettre d'exprimer une objection, s'ils en sont capables.</p>"
