One such story took place in Quebec where a man developed painful, terrible bedsores because the hospital didn’t have the appropriate medical mattress. After four days of suffering, he asked for medical staff to end his life. Rather than sourcing a mattress, they complied.
The more organs are in demand by patients who want the Canadian medical system to keep them alive and the faster the MAiD process moves patients from life to death, the more potential there is for abuse.
The expansion of medical assistance in dying (MAiD) to mental health will be paused for another three years in Canada. The decision will save lives.
Perhaps what is even more alarming is the comfort level with euthanasia in Canadian society. Recent reports highlight that a high percentage of Canadians are “fine” to see MAiD prescribed for homelessness.
