Canada is turning its assisted suicide regime into an organ donation supply chain

SS:

Canada seems to be using organs from euthanized patients for transplantation in other patients. Isn’t this a slippery slope?

When is the conversation about organ donation started?

>However, how, and when, to approach people requesting MAID about organ donation is controversial and varies in Canada, according to the review paper. Organ donor organizations in Ontario and British Columbia recommend that people who request MAID “are approached and informed about the possibility of organ donation.” In others, like Alberta and Manitoba, people aren’t asked about organ donation unless they start the conversation themselves.

Are poor people more likely to seek MAID?

>Stories have accumulated of people being driven to MAID primarily because of poverty, or a lack of adequate health care or social supports.

If an adult of sound mine consents to assisted suicide and consents to being an organ donor, then good for them. Only issue comes when it is without consent.
