Pro-euthanasia group advocates for 12-year-olds to access state-sponsored suicide in Canada
“DWDC asks that Parliament amend the existing age requirement of 18 years of age to extend it to persons at least 12 years of age and capable of making decisions with respect to their health.”
As Canada is two months away from extending its Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) euthanasia program for the mentally ill, some activists want to push the envelope even further. Dying with Dignity Canada (DWDC) would like to see MAiD available to minors – children aged 12 years and up.
