Canada is delaying the expansion of its MAID (Medical Aid in Dying) program as they cannot find enough doctors willing to kill people who do not have terminal illnesses. Over 13,500 Canadians were legally euthanized in 2022 under MAID. State-sanctioned suicides rose significantly from 2021 (10,064) to 2022, and Health Canada expects the number to skyrocket once the program is expanded. In fact, 4.1% of all deaths in Canada during 2022 were through the MAID program. Suicide is now encouraged by the Canadian health system as they aim to normalize the option for non-terminal ailments.
