Alberta Proposes MAID Bill: Balancing Access and Protection
Albertas proposed MAID bill tightens rules, limiting it to reasonably foreseeable deaths. It ends Track two MAID for non-terminal conditions, bans it for mental illness alone, blocks it for minors, and stops advance requests for degenerative diseases. The bill adds safeguards like exclusion zones and doctor protections. Disability rights groups support the move, citing UN warnings about risks to disabled people. Quebec expands access, potentially leading to a Supreme Court clash. The bill heads to Albertas legislature for debate.
