(Live Action) – A recent op-ed in the New York Times spotlighted a disturbing example of a woman in Canada approved for ‘medical assistance in dying,’ or MAiD, simply because she could no longer cook for her family.
Dr. Gary Rodin and Dr. Madeline Li, who both work with patients diagnosed with advanced stage cancer, are professors of psychiatry at the University of Toronto, and wrote an op-ed for the New York Times discussing the expansion of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in Canada.
While both said they still support MAiD, they also argued it has gone too far. “Too many people are receiving the procedure without the opportunity for careful reflection about it with a health provider,” they wrote. “In some cases, patients are being approved who should not be.” CONTINUE
