Committee recommends no MAID expansion for mental disorder

from The Current

A special parliamentary committee is recommending that the federal government "indefinitely exclude" people whose sole underlying condition is a mental illness from applying for medical assistance in dying (MAID). Recent polling from Angus Reid found the country is divided when it comes to expanding MAID, while some legal experts say it is a violation of people’s constitutional rights.
