Dying with Christ, Living with Hope

 

Who is eligible for MAiD?

Many people think that MAiD is only for people who are about to die. This is not correct. Since 2021, MAiD has expanded to persons with disabilities and chronic conditions.

For example, being a person on the autism spectrum can be enough to qualify. In 2027, MAiD will be available for persons whose only health concern is mental health. A parliamentary committee has already recommended that MAiD be expanded to include children. An Ontario man in his twenties who had cancer, died from MAiD even though he had a 65% chance of recovery with chemotherapy treatments.
