It's been contentious because there is a movement to include the irremediably mentally ill. Laws used to be narrow, only allowing euthanasia if the patient had a terminal disease like cancer and was in continual pain. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI've had two close friends die through the service of MAiD. I understand that the procedure is professional and painless, no more than falling asleep. That was what my two friends wanted, to die peacefully and to end their pain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMatt Scholtz died through the help of MAiD on Monday June 15, 2023, at the age of 77.\u003cbr\u003eAdam, another friend, whose last name I will not mention, died with the assistance of MAiD on June 23, 2021, ten days after his 49th birthday. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI've explained how MAiD came about and evolved in Canada, hopefully informing the public about this new right to die sooner than \"normal\". I explore the moral implications of this contentious issue in Canada, especially since MAiD's parameters will expand again in March 2024 to include the incurably mentally ill people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Final Exit also includes the story of my brother-in-law, Ken Janzen, who died of lung cancer at the age of 37. In 2008, MAiD was not available then. I also include my sister's story, Renate Hartig, who died in 2016 of Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 67 just before MAiD was legalized.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 21, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52708152541491,"sku":"9798853120969","price":27.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/tHsKBY7wSy9798853120969.webp?v=1763423758","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-final-exit-medical-assistance-in-dying-maid-in-canada-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
