from Talk Truth
Talk Truth 07.09.26 - Leighton Grey | Canada was told Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) would be rare, reserved for extreme end-of-life cases, and offered only with the greatest caution. Leighton Grey argues the program has expanded far beyond those original promises, raising difficult moral, legal, and spiritual questions about the value of human life. The conversation explores Canada's changing definition of compassion, the responsibility to care for the vulnerable, and why a society is ultimately judged by how it treats those who suffer. 00:00 Introduction 00:58 Foundational message 02:28 Guest comes in – Leighton Grey 03:02 Canada's expanding MAID program 05:24 Veterans encouraged to choose MAID 09:14 A MAID assessment outside Tim Hortons 11:12 Life, death, and eternal judgment 13:38 MAID, abortion, and Canada's death culture 15:20 MAID within Leighton's own family 16:28 Has Canada redefined compassion? 20:52 Does bureaucracy make evil easier? 23:28 Gray Matter and Leighton's upcoming book 24:40 Have we become better at ending the sufferer? 27:39 Support Talk Truth
