Albertas Bill 18: Tightening MAID Rules

Alberta introduces Bill 18, a law aimed at restricting medical assistance in dying (MAID). If passed, it would limit access for those not expected to die within a year and ban it for mental illness alone. The bill also mandates a close family members presence in most cases. Premier Danielle Smith argues federal safeguards are insufficient, while a supporting doctor emphasizes the need for proper support over MAID. Health providers face new restrictions, and the bill enshrines the right to refuse MAID. Despite potential legal challenges, Smith expects the bill to pass.
