Unravelling MAiD in Canada: Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide as Medical Care (McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2025), puts forth critical reflections and valuable insights as more jurisdictions consider their own assisted dying laws and policies.
Since legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide as medical assistance in dying (MAiD) in 2016, Canada now provides more state-facilitated euthanasia and assisted suicide than any other country.
Join the volume’s editors for a thoughtful discussion at their public book launch as they question how Canada’s MAiD practice has developed and the implications for health care.
