Alberta bill would limit medically assisted dying to patients facing 'reasonably foreseeable' death - Lemmy.ca
New legislation would prevent anyone in Alberta from accessing medical
assistance in dying (MAID) if they are unlikely to die within the next 12
months.
Personally I find this terrible. If they wanted to reduce MAID applications they should be funding effective healthcare. Practicing medicine from the legislature should be criminal.
I find the nuances of these laws extremely hard to navigate, tbh, but is there an example of someone who would benefit from this without actually having a reasonable likelyhood to die in the following 12 months?
Someone with excruciating pain that can’t be treated is one.
