One woman’s case shows how Canada’s euthanasia laws tend towards suicide on demand.
In March of 2021, the Canadian Parliament passed the world’s most liberal euthanasia law. The law scrapped the previous requirement that a person’s death be foreseeable. No longer would assisted suicide hurry death along. Now, it would prescribe death to people with decades left to live so long as their disease was deemed “grievous and irremediable.”
Millions of Canadians now qualify to receive what the government terms “medical assistance in dying,” or MAID, Dr. John Maher, a psychiatrist in Ontario, told The American Spectator. Any serious health problem can be enough to justify it. And starting in 2023, Canadians will also be able to receive MAID because of mental illnesses.
