The majority of people seeking MAID are cancer sufferers, and the move to expand the service has caused deep divides among mental health professionals (Unilad). From National Post: How do you define “grievous and irremediable” in psychiatry? Is it possible to conclude, with any certainty or confidence, that a mental illness has no prospect of ever improving? What has been done, what has been tried, and is it enough (National Post)? |
