Health Canada released the What We Heard report from its national conversation on advance requests for MAiD. It doesn't make recommendations, and it doesn’t change the law. It’s a reflection of what people in Canada said—and the concerns they raised—when it comes to advance requests for MAiD.

Supporter Lynn McCartney recently shared the story of her father's journey with MAID. Diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer at the age of 87, his condition was worsening. Just two weeks before his 90th birthday, he had the peaceful assisted death he desired, surrounded by his loving family. (1/2)

An advance request involves a competent person making a written request for medical assistance in dying (MAID) that could be honoured later, after they lose the capacity to make medical decisions for themselves.
Diagnosed with terminal cancer, Sheila's husband knew he wanted a medically assisted death. But prior to his assessment, John started showing signs of confusion. When the day of the assessment arrived, it was clear he could not demonstrate capacity. Read more. www.dyingwithdignity.ca/blog/john-wa...
I held onto John for as long as I could | Dying With Dignity Canada
If advance requests were legal, MAID could have been administered. John would have had autonomy over his dying, and he would have had dignity in his death.
