A Vancouver woman is claiming she was offered the option of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) by a clinician when she went to a hospital for help with her suicidal thoughts.

“I very specifically went there that day because I didn’t want to get into a situation where I would think about taking an overdose of medication,” Kathrin Mentler, who has chronic depression and feelings of suicidality, told The Globe and Mail.
