Canada is moving ahead to make it legal for those suffering from mental illness to use MAID to end their lives.

Canada is forging ahead with its plan to make it legal for those suffering from mental illness to seek help in ending their lives.
The move comes after the failure of a private member’s bill that sought to block Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) from being made available as of March 17, 2024, to those suffering solely from mental illness.
Conservative MP Ed Fast’s Bill C-314 was defeated during its second reading in the House on Oct. 18 by a 167-150 vote. The bill would have prevented the expansion of the nation’s current euthanasia program.
