このコンテンツについて
Canada has embraced “medical assistance in dying”—or “MAID”—with unseemly enthusiasm. It was legalized in 2016 only for very sick people already at the end of life. It was then extended to those with serious medical conditions. Now, in just two years, it will be available for people just with mental illness.
Certainly, no decent person wants terminally ill patients to suffer needlessly. But Canada is already halfway down the proverbial slippery slope.
Increasingly, even some patients with a good prognosis are demanding MAID. And in Canada’s socialized health care system, there’s always the risk that citizens with expensive ailments will be coerced into choosing MAID to cut costs.
When a deeply secular society sees life as just a commodity, rather than a gift from God, the spread of policies like MAID are perhaps foreseeable. That doesn’t make them healthy—or right.
