Canadaโs Medical Assistance in Dying legislation was passed in 2016 allowing individuals to die with dignity on their terms. Dissenting opinions on MAID continue but the law has resulted in an increase in organ donations. In Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain, a total of 286 people who sought euthanasia provided organs to save the lives of 837 people - almost half of those came from Canada.

Legg said that she learned of the Aug. 8 date about a week in advance. She said the final week was a memorable and meaningful rush of visiting with family and friends.

Dr Annetta MallonKnowing in advance what the hurdles are barriers are to VAD can save precious time and a traumatic death. Opposition from religious organisations and representatives can often be a major issue, so knowing your rights and options is essential.
I offer information and secular, judgement-free support - I'm here to help.

Breaking news! The ACT and the Northern Territory have finally gained the right to overturn the VAD ban imposed by a religious faction decades ago. A wonderful win for choice at end of life, ensuring the country will be united in assisted dying options.
