MAiD for Autism? The Slippery Slope of Legal Euthanasia in Canada
In this episode, Fr. Boquet explores the growing crisis of euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada—and what it means for the elderly and vulnerable people everywhere.
We unpack the shocking true story of Marge, a woman with ADHD and autism recently approved for MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) in Canada. Her case, first reported by UnHerd, raises urgent questions about how mental illness is now grounds for state-sanctioned death.
We also cover:
– What “doctor-shopping” means in the context of euthanasia
– Why legalizing assisted suicide increases pressure on the elderly and disabled
– The connection between euthanasia and demographic decline
– A Catholic, pro-life perspective on true compassion and redemptive suffering
– The UK’s proposed Assisted Dying Bill and what it could mean for the future
– The United Nation Committee’s condemnation of Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)
