Despite facing pushback, a euthanasia advocacy group in Canada is continuing its efforts to have Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) eligibility expanded for children as young as 12.
Since 2021, Dying with Dignity Canada (DWDC), a national charity claiming to be dedicated to “improving the quality of dying,” has been lobbying the Canadian government to “amend the existing age requirement of 18 years of age to extend to persons at least 12 years of age and capable of making decisions with respect to their health.”
The push came shortly after Bill C-7 received Royal Assent on March 17, 2021, resulting in the expansion of physician-assisted suicide in Canada to individuals whose death was not “reasonably foreseeable,” including those suffering from mental illness.
The Parliamentary Review of the Bill included “advance requests for MAID, the state of palliative care,” the “protection of people living with disabilities,” and “eligibility for MAID of mature minors.”
