  • Retired bioethics professor Dr. Jeff Kirby was a member of an expert panel advising the federal government on medical assistance in dying (MAID) and mental illness. Kirby said he resigned because he could not sign off on recommendations he felt did not cover the 'interests of persons with mental health disorders who were members of disadvantaged social groups.'

    The idea of MAID is 1930s Germany. You have socialized medicine. Shouldn’t you be helping!

    Thank you Dr. Kirby, even if you dont see this comment
    The only video after 5-6 videos that allows comments, and it's 5 months old! What is happening here? This is big now, and it WAS big 5 months ago.
    No requirement for an independent psychiatrist to be involved is chilling. The dam is burst and the slope is more slippery than ever.

    Dr Kirby should get back on that committee and advocate for those unable to speak for themselves and make sure the proper safeguard are in place.

    The line between MAID and suicide seems exceedingly fine. I'm told suicide is a bad thing.

    So overall summary of this interview, I stepped down from my position from MAID due to my conscience, but the implementation of MAID is good, and oh yeah, Conservatives bad.

      We go to a vet, a specialist, to help make that decision. This legislation just needs a nurse practitioner to sign off. These people are not qualified to make those decisions.
