Michelle Hewitt.

The article, titled "Michelle Hewitt," discusses the issue of disabled individuals living in poverty and the implications it has on their access to medical assistance in dying (MAiD). The author, Michelle Hewitt, who is a disabled woman with multiple sclerosis, highlights the overrepresentation of disabled people among those living in poverty in Canada. The article presents two examples of individuals who have considered MAiD due to the unbearable suffering caused by their poverty-induced conditions. Hewitt argues that the current safeguards for MAiD are failing and calls for support of the Canada Disability Benefit bill and wide reform in care systems to address the needs of disabled individuals.
