It goes by the almost innocuous name of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID): it’s MAID in Canada.
The federal government does not want to call MAID a euthanasia program because of the negative connotation that word has to murderous, totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany. It may be a voluntary euthanasia program, unlike the coercive program unleashed by the Nazis on their oppressed society, but “euthanasia” should still induce a chill in our spines and nausea in our stomachs.
