New parameters for MAiD in Canada

Many Canadians have been talking about the proposed expansion of the country’s assisted dying laws.

Currently, medical assistance in dying – also known as MAiD – is set to be expanded to include those with mental illness beginning in March next year.

But many have scrutinized the changes to Bill C-314 since it was first brought to parliament.

Just this week, Canada’s MPs had a chance to take another look at the change, but most of them voted not to do so.

Many online feel it’s going too far and that it’s unacceptable. They’re also asking why Canada doesn’t feel that protecting the most vulnerable is worth it.
