Canadian Lawmakers Want To Euthanize Children Without Parental Consent | Canadian lawmakers passed legislation overturning portions of the country’s criminal code outlawing medical assistance in dying (MAID) at the direction of the Supreme Court of Canada in mid-2016. Four years later, Parliament approved an amendment to the law after a lower court ruled the “reasonable foreseeability of natural death” requirement violated the nation’s constitution. In a stunning maneuver, some lawmakers are now proposing additional updates to the statute, allowing doctors to euthanize children without parental consent. ● On February 10, a Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying submitted a report to the House of Commons detailing its statutory review of the provisions of Canada’s criminal code related to MAID services and its application. The 138-page document contained 23 recommendations for consideration by lawmakers. ● The 16th recommendation suggests amending the eligibility requirements to “include minors,” meeting the “requisite decision-making capacity upon assessment.” Recommendation 19 asks Parliament to change the MAID law to prioritize the wishes of “mature minors” applying for MAID services over the wishes of their parents or guardians.
