Abstract

The authors comment on an article by Daryl Pullman which provides a comparison between the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)) rates in Canada and California. Topics discussed include a report released by Canada's Special Joint Committee on MAiD highlighting several groups in Canada that are disproportionately choosing/using MAiD, research opportunities with ethical implications, and the warning by Pullman that Canada is about to enter a sensitive new phase of MAiD.
