MAID for mental illness opens dangerous doors<\/strong>
Some argue that prohibiting access to MAID for mental illness is unconstitutional and discriminatory. Unfortunately, that claim is based on a superficial notion that anything being treated differently reflects undue discrimination. In reality, significant differences exist between illnesses that are mental in nature and those that are physical, such that removal of this prohibition would be more than merely discriminatory, it will be fatal for those who most need protection and care within a protective legal framework.

Bioethics, Catherine Frazee, and MAID in Canada <\/strong>
More and more disabled people have spoken out in the mainstream press, on social media, and in other venues against the legislation and expansion of it, especially with respect to the threats to their lives that it poses, the poverty and other social circumstances that MAID obscures, and the ableist exceptionism of the legislation itself.
Many of these disabled authors and activists remain unconvinced by the arguments that feminist and other bioethicists have advanced according to which the legislation incorporates safeguards ensuring that MAID won\u2019t detrimentally affect disabled people and other vulnerabilized social groups. Links to a number of these articles are provided below this latest video of Catherine Frazee.

Canada\u2019s Newest And Deadliest Human Right: Assisted Suicide for All.<\/strong>
Ever since the mid-1990s when Sue Rodriguez and Robert Latimer forced euthanasia onto the Canadian landscape, debate has been passionate and polarizing. In recognition of this controversy, the federal Liberals\u2019 2016 assisted -suicide legislation set strict limits on the procedure and promised a full review after five years. Barely three years later, however, the Trudeau government changed its mind. Now, a new law removing nearly every existing restriction sits with the Senate awaiting final approval.
Lynne Cohen lays bare the legislations\u2019 deadly implications, the political machinations that brought us here, and how the entire concept of human rights has been stood on its head.
