The Ontario MAiD Death Review report has three parts (Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3).
Janet Eastman has written an excellent commentary on the report of the Ontario Chief Coroner concerning the experience with euthanasia in Ontario, Canada's largest province. Eastman's article was published in The Telegraph on October 17, 2024.
Eastman focuses on the Coroner's report in relation to the upcoming assisted dying debate in the UK. Eastman writes:
Assisted dying is used by patients in Canada because they are poor and lack housing, a major report has found.
The first official report into assisted dying deaths in Ontario, which has been obtained by the Telegraph, found vulnerable people face “potential coercion” or “undue influence” to seek out the practice.
Sixteen experts across medicine, nursing and law identified people whose lives may have been wrongly terminated at the hands of the state, where the action is called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).
