'Research shows we cannot distinguish those seeking psychiatric euthanasia from those who are suicidal as a result of their mental illness. In these situations, instead of seeking MAiD to avoid a painful death, many seek death to avoid a painful life.' .mileniostadium.com/temas-de-capa/…

How not to build a conference panel 👇.

Every person on this panel at the CIAJ ICAJ 2022 Conference 'The Right to Dignity in Canadian #Law ' is a supporter of #MAiD .

No really critical voices. Abstract reads like propaganda. #phdchat #healthcare

'In the past concussion-like symptoms displayed by some victims of violence — headaches, memory loss, stress, blurry vision — were dismissed as emotional or psychological responses to the assaults.' vancouversun.com/health/domesti…

I cannot express how strongly I believe the government should not facilitate suicide by people suffering from anxiety, depression, or other forms of mental illness, particularly in a country where obtaining specialized psychiatric care is nearly impossible.

This is an example of some comments I’m getting after our story on medically assisted death or #MAiD for #mentalillness

Looking forward to learning more about the work of Marie Nicolini, MD PhD

Here is an exciting opportunity to help lead the Indigenous Community Legal Clinic into the future. Please share widely.

“To state the obvious…we should not have a system that kills people because they’re desperate or disposable or too costly to keep alive. But right now we’re heading toward something like that, and it seems we don’t know how to stop.” ⁦Andrew Phillips⁩ thestar.com/opinion/contri…

Not a column I ever thought I’d write. We must not become a country that euthanizes disabled babies. Period.

Pornography is the theory; rape is the practice.

Bioethics is the theory; MAiD is the practice.

“When people are living in such a situation where they’re structurally placed in poverty, is medical assistance in dying really a choice or is it coercion? That’s the question we need to ask ourselves,” Dr. Dosani says.

This is a horrifying suggestion and yet another indication of how ableist and insidious this whole MAiD discussion has become. It’s eugenics at its finest. Let’s just get rid of anyone we don’t deem as “perfect”. I’m ashamed we are even having this discussion in Canada.

At some point, we will have a reckoning as a country with the ableism that has led to the expansion of MAID policy. Disability scholars, MDs, activists, lawyers have given ample evidence that MAID is deadly ableism at work. #DisabilityTwitter Heidi Janz Isabel Grant
