The organization said, \u201cMedical assistance in dying may be an appropriate treatment for babies suffering from extreme pain,\u201d and proposed that parents be given the option to request the procedure for their child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The comments have reopened a debate many believed was settled years ago. MAID was legalized in Canada in 2016 and initially restricted to adults with terminal illnesses whose deaths were reasonably foreseeable. Over time, eligibility has expanded to include non-terminal conditions, and the number of assisted deaths has risen steadily. Federal data<\/a> shows 16,499 MAID deaths were reported in 2024 alone, bringing the cumulative total to 76,475 since legalization. By early 2026, at least 94,000 deaths<\/a> had occurred under the program, according to Alex Schadenberg of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The idea of extending MAID to infants is not new. In 2022, Dr. Louis Roy of the Quebec College of Physicians testified before Parliament\u2019s Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying that the program could apply to \u201cbabies from birth<\/a> to one year of age\u201d with severe deformities or disabilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The issue resurfaced last fall after attracting international attention. A feature in The Atlantic<\/em> titled \u201cCanada is Killing Itself\u201d compared aspects of Canada\u2019s euthanasia policies to historical practices in Nazi Germany<\/a>, prompting backlash from euthanasia advocates and intensifying public debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MAID has also drawn controversy beyond the infanticide proposal. Reports have highlighted cases involving organ donation<\/a> following euthanasia and allegations that safeguards have failed vulnerable individuals. In one recent case, the mother of a 26-year-old man claimed her son, who was physically healthy but suffered from depression<\/a>, was euthanized under MAID, despite federal plans to delay eligibility for mental illness alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Canada’s MAiD already accounts for over 5% of deaths, but how can we up that number?
