YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhat happens when doctors begin discussing MAID for infants?
In this episode, Kelsi Sheren examines a controversial proposal from the Quebec College of Physicians suggesting that Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) could potentially be extended to infants under one year old experiencing extreme and unrelievable suffering.
Infant MAID is not currently legal in Canada, but the fact that the discussion is taking place has sparked intense debate among physicians, ethicists, disability advocates, parents, and policymakers.
This conversation raises difficult questions:
• Can infants ever meaningfully be included in assisted dying decisions?
• Who should decide when suffering is considered unbearable?
• How do we balance compassion, consent, and medical ethics?
• Where should the limits of MAID be drawn?
• What can Canada learn from countries like the Netherlands?
In this episode, Kelsi explores:
• The Quebec proposal involving infants and MAID
• Infant euthanasia and neonatal end-of-life policy
• The Groningen Protocol in the Netherlands
• The expansion of Canada's assisted dying framework
• Ethical concerns surrounding non-voluntary euthanasia
• Disability rights perspectives on MAID expansion
• The broader implications for Canadian healthcare policy
This isn't just a debate about one proposal.
It's a conversation about medical ethics, human dignity, parental authority, consent, suffering, and the future direction of assisted dying policy in Canada.
