What we know about the plan to allow MAID for people with mental illness and the controversial debate over suicide versus assisted suicide.
When can people with a mental illness apply for an assisted death?
Dr. Sonu Gaind is among those who have argued that the “irremediable” part can’t be scientifically met. “It’s no better than flipping a coin,” said Gaind, the physician chair of the MAID team at Humber River Hospital in Toronto, where he’s chief of psychiatry. “No one can actually know that in any individual.
Some experience impulsive suicidality, a desire or wish to die, that’s transient. But transient doesn’t mean just five minutes, or five hours, Gaind said. “It can actually mean weeks, or months.” “In this case, we’re taking the same people who are applying for similar reasons, and we’re providing them a facilitated path to death,” Gaind said.
