CARDUS Health Director Rebecca Vachon https://www.cardus.ca/research-library/health/
is interviewed by Barry about the Cardus report “From Exceptional to Routine: The Rise of Euthanasia in Canada by Alexander Raikin, Visiting Fellow in Bioethics at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
In less than a decade, euthanasia has gone from being a rare exception — as was originally intended – to a routine cause of death in Canada, sometimes with same-day service for assessment and provision. By 2022, Canada’s “medical assistance in dying” (MAiD) deaths had grown 13 times higher than they were in 2016, the year when MAiD became legal.
Rebecca Vachon discusses these and other findings of the
report that is shocking. Academics are now asking serious questions about what is going on in Canada and MAID. See for example the article written by Dr. Christopher Lyon, “Words matter: ‘enduring intolerable suffering’ and the provider-side peril of Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada,” Journal of Medical Ethics, http://orcid.org/0000-0003-2319-2933
Dr. Lyon “raises important questions about the risks of MAiD clinicians subjectively defining, approving and providing MAiD in ways that deviate from accepted legal and clinical concepts and ethics. Examples show some prolific clinicians describe MAiD in terminology that differs from such norms, as a personal mission, as personally pleasurable, and as a rights-based service.”
