Canada shouldn't deny assisted suicide if social conditions made life intolerable: bioethicists Canada is right to let people choose death when their living conditions make life intolerable, a new paper argues. Critics call it a moral stain on our country' Get the latest from Sharon Kirkey straight to your inbox Sign Up > Sharon Kirkey Published May 09, 2023 Last updated 4 days ago • 6 minute read 254 Comments Jennyfer Hatch, 37, was the central figure of All Is Beauty, a three-minute film produced by Simons that celebrated Hatch's last days before seeking medically assisted death. She chose MAID after failing to receive proper medical care. PHOTO BY LA MAISON SIMONS/YOUTUBE The cases have drawn international criticism: People in Canada with non- terminal conditions choosing a doctor-assisted death after a fruitless search for better housing or proper medical care. But a new paper by two University of Toronto bioethicists argues that, while the decisions may be "deeply tragic," it would be wrong to deny medical assistance in dying (MAID) to people whose request is being driven most of all by poverty or other unjust conditions - "people who not only might, but have explicitly said" they would prefer not to die. Not allowing MAID when circumstances show no short-term chance of improving would only cause further harm, Kayla Wiebe, a PhD candidate in philosophy, and bioethicist Amy Mullin, a professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto, write in the Journal of Medical Ethics. "To force people who are already in unjust social circumstances to have to wait until those social circumstances improve, or for the possibility of public charity that sometimes but unreliably occurs when particularly distressing cases become public, is unacceptable," they wrote. "A harm reduction approach acknowledges that the recommended solution is necessarily an imperfect one: a 'lesser evil' between two or more less than ideal options." Their essay was spurred by a string of controversial cases last year that have led critics to accuse Canada of "euthanizing its poor." The revelations sparked international headlines and high-profile debate between Canada's political parties around what parameters - and safeguards - exist in the relatively new assisted suicide regime. The issue first drew global attention when CTV reported the story of "Sophia," a 51-year-old Toronto woman with multiple chemical sensitivities who died by MAID after a fruitless search for an affordable apartment, free of the smell of smoke or chemical cleaners.
