MAiD for mental illness: #TemertyMed Prof. Sonu Gaind & Dr. Chantal Perrot speak to different sides of the debate. Watch the segment @BBCNews: bit.ly/4aUHGR5
Honoured to be presenting w/colleagues @ThaddeusPope & @hastingscenter Nancy Berlinger Wed, May 1 (1-2:30pm ET/noon-1:30pm central) on U of Minn @UMNews #AssistedDying panel open to public, forward/register below for wide-ranging disc'n on complex topic consortium.umn.edu/lecture/consid…
TY++🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 @mssinenomine for your insightful piece in @IRPP calling out the deep ableism fueling Canada's wide MAID expansion policies, and the red herring ad hominem arguments of MAID expansion zealots dismissing legitimate evidence-based social justice concerns as only…

Canadian Prof Sonu Gaind @Psych_MD highlights most eloquently the subjectivity of assessment for medical assistance in dying and its devastating consequences. Do watch it. Warning clip based on harrowing and very worrying case. youtu.be/T2CikZ92_0w?si…
In @mtlgazette this week: montrealgazette.com/opinion/opinio… TY MP @ScarpaleggiaLSL & your colleagues on Spec Jt Cttee for thoughtfully weighing range of perspectives on this challenging issue...it is not an easy one... @TrudoLemmens @yuanyi_z @AlexanderRaikin @YouNeedHelpBook
Thoughtful piece by @mssinenomine in today's @LFPress : "now is a good time to take stock of the forest" lfpress.com/opinion/column…
This has been such a long...'endeavour' (I really don't want to use the word "battle" since this should *not* be a fight...even though it has felt like it). But whatever the right word is, it is a relief that there is finally some progress/success in waking people up to the real…
🇨🇦 Human Rights Commission is "deeply concerned by reports ppl w/disabilities are choosing #MAiD b/c they can't access basic supports & services to live with dignity" canadianaffairs.news/2024/02/27/mai… So @StanKutcher, @SenatriceMegie, @SenatorWallin, do you now agree that your 'sunset…
TY Senator @denisebatters for speaking at senate ab risk of premature death to marginalized posed by @StanKutcher's "sunset clause", incl disproportionate risk to women...still can't believe #assistedsuicide expansion lobby proponents deliberately ignore/trivialize/refuse to even…
The Trudeau Govt must not just delay expanding #AssistedSuicide for #MentalIllness: They must back down completely! Canadians living with mental illness want hope and help and support -- not an easier path to death. VIDEO: My #SenCA Bill #C62 speech: youtube.com/watch?v=3uGrEr…
Yesterday in Senate debate @StanKutcher claimed “Of the 9 countries that provide some form of MAID, Canada is the only one that excludes people with a mental disorder” - but Sen Kutcher you must know that, unlike Canada, sig majority of MAID regimes *only* allow MAID for…
fyi, see here the letter sent from the new Society of Canadian Psychiatry to all senators, for their consideration as they deliberate whether or not to pass Bill C-62 to pause the (until now) planned 2024 #MAID for #mentalillness expansion static1.squarespace.com/static/61db373… @TrudoLemmens…
In today's @guardian:“Maid is different depending on what it’s provided for...It’s not only one thing...& these expansions of assisted death are way beyond what most Canadians would actually support” theguardian.com/world/2024/feb… @TrudoLemmens @AlexanderRaikin @yuanyi_z @yuenpauwoo…
So Bill C-62, calling for pause on expansion of #MAID for #mentalillness, passed 3rd reading in elected house of commons by vote of 272:32 last Thursday ourcommons.ca/documentviewer… Dissenting senators @StanKutcher @SenatorWallin @SenatriceMegie disagree, believing senate should…
@Psych_MD @PsychToday Indeed. In @UofTLaw blog post February 2021 I noted how curious it is for the Senate & Government to rely on Senator Kutcher as a source of evidence-informed medicine, w reference to the same. He was making statements then on suicide rates & #euthanasia law.utoronto.ca/blog/faculty/h…

@Psych_MD @PsychToday Indeed.

.@Psych_MD points out that practice is to suggest MAiD to anyone who may be eligible, which means doctors offering MAID to every disabled person. He says Canada is the only country in the world to have taken this approach.
@brentmYYC @eatonhamilton @TheophanesRex @Psych_MD The possibilities of using MAID against the disabled who do not want MAID is endless. Holland keeps saying it's only for treatment resistant mental disabilities, but unlike other countries, there's no such safeguard.
@jamesdownar @Psych_MD @DocSGreen @umanitoba @TrudoLemmens Still waiting James. If we were face to face I'd like to see you step in with that rubbish. Face a line of us marginalized and poor disabled people. Speak those words to us James. See how that lands.
@jamesdownar @Psych_MD @DocSGreen @umanitoba @TrudoLemmens You're out here acting like this is a debate about us that does not involve us. Stop cherry picking some names and stop acting like this is a fight between doctors who line up 'their' disabled people like ammunition.
@jamesdownar @Psych_MD @DocSGreen @umanitoba @TrudoLemmens Say these words to me James. I dare you to tell me - a disabled poor person - what poses a threat to me and call the fight disabled people - especially marginalized & poor disabled people - are waging against MAiD a distraction.
@jamesdownar @Psych_MD @DocSGreen @umanitoba @TrudoLemmens James Downar, you and the other MAiD activists/proponents/hired guns/lobbyists are delegitimizing my life and that of other disabled people. And if you want to talk about money I'd like to know all your income sources for the last 15 years.
