Dialysis one way, MAiD the other ? Critics sound alarms about Vancouver clinics offering life or death

Summary

Critics, including the head of a prominent anti-MAiD organization raised concerns about the increasing presence of clinics offering the procedure in Vancouver near those that offer health services, such as dialysis. Critics argue that the proximity of services that sustain life and those that end it raises ethical question about how MAiD is integrated into the health system. They say these developments highlight broader unease among pro-life advocates about how MAiD is being normalized in settings where patients face critical decisions about life and death.
