Listening now to @cbcfifth on #MAID : so we now know you can be approved as 25y Canadian struggling w vision loss for #MAID by 2nd assessor via FaceTime while eating a steak at the Kegg.... Canada’s dystopia... Dying w Dignity cbc.ca/news/canada/a-…
We also hear Minister Lametti reassure us ‘there are few complaints, so the system works well” and he passes the buck to the regulatory colleges & police, which so far refuse to investigate... All is well & dead people don’t complain...

Considering the zeal by which some MAID providers glorify MAiD as a universal solution for 'suffering', we ought to be deeply deeply concerned by this judgment #euthanasia #maid cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
Here is an example of the morbid fetishing of self-determination: "M.V.'s dignity and right to self-determination outweighs the important matters raised by W.V. and the harm that he will suffer in losing M.V." What about harm to M.V? 'Choice' outweighs harm from being killed...
Father says his daughter is "generally healthy and believes that her physical symptoms, to the extent that she has any, result from undiagnosed psychological conditions." Her only known diagnoses described in court earlier this month are autism and ADHD.

Sign of growing discomfort with media exposure of serious problems w Canada's #MAID law/practice: @picardonhealth, MAID expansionist day 1, goes on all-out editorial defence MAID & government approach, with frankly extraordinary denial of any potential problem... 1/
2/ Some examples 1: Expert Panel on MAID Mental Illness, widely criticized for failing to impose any additional safeguards #mentalhealth (contrary to B & Nl, other liberal regimes), had 2 members resign in protest-- Picard: panel made “19 thoughtful recommendations”
3/ e.g. 2: Gov strongly criticized for not appealing lower court Quebec decision and caving in without defense of law broadly supported by parliament—Picard: law was “predictably struck down by court’

Two remarkable admissions David Lametti re #MAID: 1."suicide generally is available to people. 2. [MAID helps people] who, for physical reasons and possibly mental reasons, can’t make that choice themselves & do it themselves" @althiaraj @TorontoStar thestar.com/politics/polit…
2/ Let that sink it: fed justice minister recognizes that choice is always there. BUT: government wants to facilitate suicide of those who would otherwise be saved by the fact that, fortunately, they often doubt and there is often a barrier to end one's own life...
3/ if this isn't a glorification and problematic simplification of suicide and MAID as a terrific & much needed solution to 'intolerable suffering' of disabled persons, incl persons w mental illness, which needs to be facilitated by the state, what is?

L'association des medecins psychiatres de Quebec publishes paper “Access to medical assistance in dying for people with mental disorders”. Complex issue cannot be discussed fully. But timing no coincidence, so let's look at some deeply troubling issues (1) bit.ly/37Aqlxs
(2) Authors clearly know they feed into a process of Bill C-7 & endorse inclusion of MH; but Bill’s provisions DO NOT provide a reliable, safe basis for what even they recommend as minimal standards under which MAID for MD could be practiced
(3) 'in their view', as this is presuming that the reports’ recommendations are ethically sound/unproblematic, legally coherent, and evidence-based. Not so, imho. Let’s look at some components.

Excellent paper @aneeman re equality for people w #disability in context of #COVID19Pandemic triage: it requires more than rejecting irrational prejudice & more than focusing only on short-term survival @aodaalliance @CACL_ACIC @ARCHDisability thehastingscenter.org/when-it-comes-…
(2) "Should people with disabilities be penalized for impairments that may mean they require more resources to achieve the same result? Should hospitals be able to consider long-term survival? And if we accept short-term survival, do existing instruments need modifications...?"
(3) A public building is not just prohibited from posting a “No Wheelchair Users Allowed” sign–it is also required to ensure that a ramp is present. These are not acts of charity; rather, they are requirements to avoid discrimination under a civil rights law."
