In Canada, Medical Assistance in Dying is changing. In 2023, people who have a mental disorder as their sole underlying medical condition will become eligible for an assisted death. Originally, that was scheduled to happen on March 17, but the government has asked for a delay. CTVNews.ca/W5 outlines 9 things you need to know about MAiD.

An expert panel studying MAiD for mental illness also issued2. No specific type of mental disorder is excluded from qualifying for a medically assisted death.

People who ask for MAiD for a mental disorder will be assessed on a case-by-case basis to determine if the person's disorder is "grievous and irremediable". 4. As with all forms of medically assisted death, the patient's doctor, psychiatrist, or family don't have to be part of the decision, and may not know about the MAiD until after the person has died.

However, if the patient asks assessors not to contact family or their mental health practitioners, they are required to respect the patient's wishes. The expert panel on MAiD for mental illness recommends that MAiD assessors "should ensure that people have had an extensive treatment history and access to appropriate care."

However, others argue that just because a person is waiting for treatment doesn’t mean their illness is incurable. They say people can wait for treatments that are unlikely to improve their condition.Doctors disagree on whether it is possible to reliably distinguish between a person who is requesting MAiD because they’re suicidal and one who is requesting MAiD after serious consideration.

Can we volunteer someone else? I volunteer Justin Trudeau for MAID

My father did maid program, due to illness. It was so peaceful and it gave him the dignity he deserved and ended his suffering.

It's murder!

A development to watch. Nordic States have a long history of ethics in medicine and healing sciences. Canada … not really. To avoid issues, a separate criminal recourse against the doctors and nurses forcing their medical assistance needs to be put in place.

Murder is what it is. A doc who takes an oath to save lives then kills them intentionally is NOT a dic but a murderer!

Welcome to Canada

Here is the better summary

Evil shills!

First and foremost…. it is premeditated murder. Murder carried out by the medical profession with the full support of the government. There are other solutions, even for the terminally ill.

How about 9 opportunities to get mental help from professional!!!!!Why you promoting suicidal thoughtsSHAME!!!

This should never be a thing for mental illness. This is a shame and only so we can save money. Our governments in Canada are crazy.

Number 1 on the list of nine things, is it went from assistance in dying for terminal people, to anyone now can get it! It's MURDER

' having a bad week? ask your liberal government if medical assisted dying is right for you'

It’s called murder

Also known as the Federal Organ Harvesting Program

A consensual nazi solution. How humane 🤡👹😈🤢🤮

How about no

Ban maid . It's morally not right . If anyone has morals left.

Federal government used to be associated with Bell Let’s Talk, now they aren’t, but offer and promote MAID……. We’ve come a long way in JustinTrudeau ‘s Canada. TrudeauMustGo TrudeauIsDestroyingCanada TrudeauNationalDisgrace WEFpuppets

I am very fortunate that this wasn't around when I spent hours/days standing on a chair with my head in a noose... I wouldn't be here today and neither would my children.

Ahh yes, Trudeau's legacy... Weed & Death. The two things that have become incredibly easy to get since he got selected. Oops, I mean elected.

I’m seriously ashamed of my country right now. This is wrong on so many levels….

Ctv should be ashame of themselves for promoting this crap.

You can't serve on a jury if mentally I'll but are deemed of sound mind and body by our government to make the decision to end your life if you suffer from mental illness. Allowing for something like this effectively nullifies the entire psychiatric industry.

The only reason this is a feasible solution is due to a dead person does not require money to fund therapy/medication. Plus they legislate it and place the onus on the doctors thus 'keeping their hands clean' by not making the ultimate, respective decision.

Anyone requesting MAID should have any will/inheritance put on hold for 20 years before processing. This will discourage unethical family members from suggesting MAID for $.This is especially concerning once mental illness is included in the mix. LeslynLewis PierrePoilievre

Hard to believe this is happening in the 21st century. Sweep the problem under the carpet😤👎

Pushing death again eh. At the end of the day, do you people go home to Families? If any of you have Kids, wow. Shame on you. Enabling Genocide and Communism, all for a paycheck. CanadaIsBroken FuckTrudeau

Nazi Germany Revisited by Trudeau et al.

I find this disturbing.

1st thing is! The gov't is killing you!

Trudeau: A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. I care about Canada and Canadians. Also, Trudeau: If you are Canadian, I am making it easier for you to kill yourself. something is just not right here, you know?

I heard LOTS inmates considering MAID too - wow, STATE induced suicide 🙄

Okay so like WTF - seems the Gov’t would rather people off themselves instead of properly investing into mental health & wellness - cowards

Canada, where medical care is based upon the ethics of Dr. Josef Mengle and the death cult of Malthusian eugenicist thinkers. How long until MAiD is used to silence political dissent? Months? Weeks?

The lndian nurses in hospitals dont know 💩 from apple pie . Only go to a hospital for MAIMS ( medically assisted in murder )

It's a crazy liberal idea, and that's all you need to know when you go yo the polls.

lt should be renamed Maims to mean medically assisted in murder .

JustinTrudeau new Canada.

Sad a supposed news company is spreading information on how to kill yourself.

The only thing you need to know is that it’s absolutely embarrassing this government supports killing people instead of giving them access to treatments they need to get better.

If abortion is legal. What is the big deal

How can you deem a person as incurable without proper assessment? Were they ever on the right medication?

THERE SHOULD BE NO OPTION FOR IT. We are killing people for TREATABLE ISSUES. sickening

That’s some F$&Ked up shit!
