    Because the conditions applied always seem to be revolving around removing undesirables within Canada. This example makes people fear that Canadian hospital workers will begin pressuring drug addict patients to kill themselves, or even darker, signing them up for euthanasia without their knowing or consent.

      Healthcare worker here.

      There is a long list of steps that have to be put into place before someone is even elected for MAiD recommendation by a doctor.

      Then there is a 3 step consent process in which the patient must be lucid. Maybe people who want MAiD are unable to successfully give the last step of consent unfortunately. I myself had to watch my grandmother die slowly rather than though MAiD like she wanted because she lost lucidity.

      Between those steps either a doctor or a pharmacist will get in touch with the patient to go over the steps of MAiD again.

      The drugs for MAiD aren’t over the counter. After all of the above steps are done then the pharmacist does up the compounds. Every Pharmacist I know triple checks their paper work and thier medications.

      Then they would either provide MAiD in hosiptal or make a home visit. At the moment handing off the compounds to the family is not allowed here.

      There are so many steps and checks and paperwork that no one is getting MAiD signed up against thier will.
