Canada is expected to expand its euthanasia services to people suffering from mental illness in 2027. MAiD activist Jocelyn Downie expressed her concern in a recent parliament hearing that withholding MAiD from people with mental illnesses will result in “more mentally ill Canadians dying by suicide.”
The Spectator P.M. Podcast hosts Ellie Gardey Holmes, Lyrah Margo, and Morgan Weiner discuss the current status of MAiD and the consequences of offering these services to those struggling with mental health. Ellie, Lyrah, and Morgan share their concerns for people with mental illness and why MAiD is not a suitable option. They also express how the Canadian government has no regard for the true needs of the people, and is rather opting to save money by encouraging a culture of death. Tune in to hear their discussion!
