The MAiD report by the Center for Racial and Disability Justice highlights critical concerns about the ethical, legal, and social implications of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). It reveals how systemic ableism, racial inequities, and inadequate safeguards disproportionately harm disabled and marginalized communities, prioritizing assisted death over essential supports for living. The report challenges the normalization of MAiD and calls for reforms that emphasize equity, robust safeguards, access to comprehensive palliative care, and other alternatives.
