Bunny Hugs and Mental Health · Jul 2, 2022 · 1h 5m

In 2023 Canada is set to allow medical assistance in dying for people with mental illness and mental health struggles with the passing of Bill C7. In this episode I speak with Dr. Sonu Gaind, U of T professor, Chief of Psychiatry at Humber River Hospital and Physician chair of that hospitals MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) team. We discuss the dangerous precedent it sets in Canada, how one with mental health issues gets MAiD, and the problem of the wording in who is eligible to be MAiD. You need to listen to this episode and you need to share this episode with everyone you know.
