Zitat:One third of Canadians fine with prescribing assisted suicide for homelessness
Roughly the same number told a poll they were fine with approving MAID for someone whose only affliction was poverty
One third of Canadians are apparently fine with prescribing assisting suicide for no other reason than the fact that the patient is poor or homeless.
The results were contained in a recent Research Co. poll probing just how comfortable Canadians were with the current state of the country’s MAID (medical assistance in dying) regime.
Starting in March 2021, Canada became one of only a handful of countries to legalize assisted suicide even in instances where a patient does not have a terminal illness. Ever since, a Canadian can be approved for MAID simply for having a “grievous and irremediable medical condition.”
Research Co. found that 73 per cent of poll respondents favoured the current regime, and only 16 per cent opposed it.

Zitat:All this assisted suicide has been a boon to organ donation
A Dutch study found that Canada is now the global epicentre for organs harvested from people who have died by assisted suicide
With more than 10,000 Canadians now dying from medically assisted death each year, a report out of The Netherlands has found that Canada is now the global epicentre of harvesting organs from patients who have undergone doctor-assisted suicide.
A recent review published by Dutch researchers in the American Journal of Transplantation examined the growing medical practice known as ODE; organ donation after euthanasia.
Of 286 worldwide instances of ODE identified by the paper, nearly half of them (136) were Canadian.
It means that Canadians who die by assisted suicide are now representing a not-insubstantial number of the country’s total organ donors.

In an interview with CTV, Arthur Schafer, director of the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics, said he was “proud” of Canada’s standing in rates of organ donations among assisted suicide deaths. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for someone facing death to make something significant out of the end of their life,” he said.

The Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Providers in which doctors openly discussed the euthanization of patients whose only underlying condition was poverty – and even suggested ways to manage their own “moral distress” at these cases.
