MAiD Support
In June 2016, the Parliament of Canada passed federal legislation allowing eligible adults to request medical assistance in dying (MAiD).
Persons who wish to receive MAID must meet the following eligibility criteria:
• Be 18 years of age or older and have decision-making capacity
• Eligible for publicly funded healthcare services
• Make a voluntary request that is not the result of external pressure
• Give informed consent to receive MAID, meaning that the person has consented to receive MAID after they have received all information needed to make this decision
• Have a serious and incurable illness, disease or disability (excluding a mental illness until March 17, 2027)
• Be in an advanced state of irreversible decline in capability
• Have enduring and intolerable physical or psychological suffering that cannot be alleviated under conditions the person considers acceptable
