Tim Stainton: “We are now one of the 3 most permissive jurisdictions on Medical Assistance in Dying or assisted suicide in the world. They fight every day for an assisted life and they feel that they are just now being offered an assisted death.”
Canada now has one of the most permissive assisted suicide laws in the world. Disability organizations including Inclusion Canada have expressed their deep concern about how this law may impact people with disabilities.
