Over 1,100 physicians have signed a petition opposing Canada’s new medically assisted dying bill, saying the proposed legislation changes the nature of their profession and its removal of safeguards will lead to an increase in “coerced or tragically unconsidered deaths.”
“This bill, expanding “medical assistance in dying” (MAiD) to virtually everyone who is sick and suffering in Canada, will, if passed in its current form, make our country the world leader in administering death,” reads the joint statement accompanying the petition.
