In less than a decade since the legalization of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), Canada is on track to surpass 100,000 assisted deaths.
When this policy was introduced, Canadians were told it would be a last resort, reserved for those nearing the end of life, with strict safeguards in place.
Families are now speaking out about cases where assessments appeared rushed, loved ones were not informed of final decisions, and safeguards did not seem to function as intended.
Canada must be able to have an honest conversation about MAID, and how we support and protect vulnerable Canadians.
