MAiD For The Mentally Ill with Amanda Achtman and Rebecca Vachon

On October 30th the province of Quebec made medical assistance in dying (MAiD) available to those with dementia and cognitive decline. This, after the federal government delayed such expansion nationally until 2027.

An estimated 70,000 Canadians are expected to die by MAiD as of the end of 2024.

MAiD is now a leading cause of death nationwide and Canada has some of the broadest laws on MAiD globally.

How far should this go?

Should all of Canada follow Quebec’s lead and legalize MAiD for those fighting mental illness?

Joining us this week to discuss are Amanda Achtman, journalist, filmmaker, and advocate (Dying to Meet You Project), and Rebecca Vachon, (Program Director of Health at the policy think tank Cardus).
