    Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID)

    Assisted suicide is the intentional termination of one’s life, assisted by someone who provides the means or knowledge, or both. (See also Suicide.) Between 1892 and 2016, assisted suicide was illegal in Canada under section 241(b) of the Criminal Code. In 2015, after decades of various legal challenges, the Supreme Court of Canada decided unanimously to allow physician-assisted suicide. In June 2016, the federal government passed the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) Act, which established the eligibility criteria and procedural safeguards for medically assisted death. In March 2021, new legislation was passed that expanded eligibility for MAID to those whose natural death was not reasonably foreseeable. The 2021 legislation temporarily excluded persons suffering only from mental illness. Under current legislation, persons whose sole underlying medical condition is a mental illness will be eligible for MAID in March 2027.
