#BCgovernment’s workaround to allow medical assistance in dying (#MAiD) at #StPaulsHospital will not prevent the continuing #ForcedTransfers of #EndOfLife #patients at other religious-run #hospitals & #hospices, says a #Vancouver #PalliativeCare #doctor.

“I’m actually shocked,” said Jyothi Jayaraman, who quit her job at a Vancouver hospice, May’s Place, because it stopped providing MAID once it was taken over by #ProvidenceHealth.

Is a 2:1 gender gap in medically-assisted death not a huge red flag?
The rw right-to-life movement has so dominated opposition to #MAiD that many feminists &progressives now won't touch it.
Those of us who strongly support MAiD & don't want to see our gov't fuck it up w sloppy loopholes that could result in eugenics for the poor & disabled are alarmed by this left/right division.
Please consider looking outside your natural allegiances to acknowledge this.

Top Ten New and Needed Expansions of U.S. Medical Aid in Dying Laws

“U.S. criteria for MAID are too restrictive and impede access to individuals who want to relieve suffering at the end of life…In this Open Peer Commentary, I describe the top ten new and needed expansions of U.S. #MAID laws.

How Aid in Dying Became Medical, Not Moral

The debate over aid in dying still rages in the language that medicine and the media use to describe the practice.

"A phrase like “medical aid in dying,” they concluded, would reassure patients that they were taking part in a process that was regulated and medically sanctioned. “Medicine has that legitimating power, like it or not…hat really removes a lot of the stigma.”

The MAiD law in Canada is genuinely one of the more horrifying devaluations of human life going on in the entire world, right up there with China's reproduction policies and Denmark's Downs Syndrome genocide.

I hate how it is so normalized that a straightforward description of what it does would be agreed to by those who endorse it, but so horrifying that many unaffected simply can't believe in it.

AMERICANS TEND TO KNOW CURIOUSLY LITTLE about the extraordinary euthanasia regime that has recently emerged in Canada. The government calls it Medical Assistance in Dying, or MAiD—a sanitized acronym that evokes helpfulness and compassion. This certainly accords with the idealized picture of physician-assisted suicide, where a doctor provides drugs for a patient to end his or her own life, which is one of the practices allowed under Canadian MAiD regulations. But over 99 percent of MAiD cases in Canada—practically all of them —instead involve voluntary euthanasia, where the doctor administers the lethal drugs. Perhaps the government’s choice of a reality-obscuring euphemism is partly to blame for my compatriots’ hazy understanding of what is happening up north.

This inattention is why, when I bring the subject up to others in the States, I begin not by citing the complicated judicial and legislative history that led from Carter to Truchon to the passage of former bill C-7—Tll cover that arc in a moment—but rather by stating its effects: MAiD, which has been legal in the country only since 2016, is already responsible for one in thirty deaths across Canada, and the number is as high as nearly one in twenty in some provinces. Those figures are from 2021; aggregated national data from last year should be released soon, and it is reasonable to expect these numbers to climb further: Advocates of MAID tout increasing awareness and ease of access.
SINCE CANADA’S ORIGINAL MAID LAW was enacted in 2016, the staunchest critics of the practice and its legal expansion have been disability rights advocates, from grassroots organizations to international observers. Their fears—among others, that MAiD would come to be offered as a “solution” to the particular needs of a person with disabilities, especially if those needs are complicated or require costly interventions on the part of a province’s already strained single-payer system—have been confirmed by several widely reported cases since the law’s expansion beyond the terminally ill. Expressing despair due to poverty, lack of access to appropriate housing, or unmet needs for specialist medical care has been taken to be consistent with the provision of euthanasia. Indeed, some defenders of the regime have stated that it would be unjust to withhold euthanasia in such cases. To do so, they have argued, would be to render poverty an impediment to receiving medical care.

I know I'm likely in the minority but my personal belief is that if someone wants out bad enough, the reason why doesn't really matter - they should be assisted instead of having to do it themselves (& perhaps botching it to the point of requiring care for the rest of their existence). #MAiD

What happens to George when the same state that has refused to offer him the supports to live enthusiastically informs him that he qualifies to die?

The Australian state pays a *significant* amount of money to support me and people like me. What happens when they figure out instead of paying our #NDIS plans every year they can just pay a one-time cost to off us?

for her incredible reporting on #MAiD over the course of years: most things I learned about MAiD were either from her, or via people I found from her page.

For the rest I've been advocating on these issues & studying policy for about a decade.

Text reading: Results. During the study period, 1367 deaths (1043 males and 324 females) in individuals with autism were recorded in the United States. The mean age at death for individuals with autism was 36.2 years (SD = 20.9 years), compared with 72.0 years (SD = 19.2 years) for the general population. Of the deaths in individuals with autism, 381 (27.9%) were attributed to injury (PMR = 2.93;95% CI = 2.64, 3.24), with suffocation (n = 90;PMR = 31.93; 95% CI = 25.69, 39.24) being the leading cause of injury mortality, followed by asphyxiation (n = 78;PMR = 13.50;95% CI = 10.68, 16.85) and drowning (n = 74;PMR=39.89;95% CI = 31.34, 50.06).

#Canada plans to expand eligibility of #MedicalAssistanceInDying to include all mental illnesses as well as children next year.

Over 10,000 disabled people were euthanised through #MAiD in 2021 alone. https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/medical-assistance-dying/annual-report-2021.html#a3.1

While Canada refuses to record a MAiD death as #euthanasia, instead recording it as a death from the underlying condition (eg, “hearing loss”), if it did it would make MAiD the 7th-leading cause of death in the country, accounting for 3.3% of all deaths: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1310080101

Disabled Canadians are screaming that they are being genocided, the evidence and despair is overwhelming: https://globalnews.ca/news/9176485/poverty-canadians-disabilities-medically-assisted-death/

#Canada has seen the most extreme expansion of #euthanasia laws with their #MedicalAssistanceInDying (MAiD), passed over the objections of the disability community: https://www.mcgilldaily.com/2021/02/bill-c-7-devalues-the-lives-of-disabled-canadians/

Prior to the expansion of #MAiD, Disability Inclusion Minister #CarlaQualtrough told the justice committee that it’s easier to access MAiD than to get a wheelchair in some parts of the country: https://www.ipolitics.ca/news/senators-worried-its-easier-to-access-maid-than-other-health-services

#RogerFoley, a disabled man (without a terminal illness) secretly recorded doctors repeatedly attempting to coerce him to end his life in 2017, threatening to charge him $1800 a day if he remained in the hospital: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/chronically-ill-man-releases-audio-of-hospital-staff-offering-assisted-death-1.4038841?cache=kyifhaaa

But that pales compared to what has happened since Canada expanded MAiD. In February 2022, after 2 years of being refused accessible housing, a woman w/ multiple chemical sensitivities requested MAiD: the government approved her application the same day: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/woman-with-chemical-sensitivities-chose-medically-assisted-death-after-failed-bid-to-get-better-housing-1.5860579

MAiD’s expanded criteria, allowing euthanasia for those whose death is “not reasonably foreseeable,” had not even come into effect until 17 March 2022.

Madeline, a 54-year-old woman $40,000 in medical debt, plans to get euthanasia when her money runs out this year: the government doesn’t provide enough resources for disabled people to live, but they will kill them free of charge: https://www.chatelaine.com/health/maid-assisted-death-poverty/

CW: Eugenics, Euthanasia, Ableism

If you're a progressive or somewhere on the left and you're wondering why disabled people are less than enthusiastic about #euthanasia "victories," I urge you to read this thread rather than dismiss disabled people's experiences out of hand.

The reality is many of us fear the unintended & deadly consequences for disabled people, which we are seeing play out across the world in every jurisdiction that has legalised euthanasia.

Euthanasia is inextricably linked with the #sterilisation and #genocide of disabled people.

In states w/ a history of legal euthanasia, like #Canada & the #US, euthanasia is overwhelmingly opposed by disabled people regardless of political affiliation.

In the US, 100% of disabled-run disability organisations w/ a position on euthanasia oppose it: http://notdeadyet.org/disability-groups-opposed-to-assisted-suicide-laws

While in Canada, over 300 disability organisations across the country objected to the expansion of Medical Assistance in Dying (#MAiD): https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/maid-assisted-dying-bill-c7-bc-1.5845306
