    Can a Ontario Resident—-go to Quebec, and have legal suicide done for them? Or will they be prosecuted by the Canadian Law-as murder, and end up in prison? My husband is quite ill with three different types of disease and failing .–Could this procedure be done for him-and if so how does one go about getting it started? The legal matters scare me. We live in Peterborough Ontario, and my husband and I want to learn about this procedure.—–Thankyou
