Responding to Bill C-7.

That date marks the expiry of Bill C-7's exception for MAiD in circumstances where a mental disorder is the sole underlying medical condition. Another recent paper by the same group complements this work by leveraging the European experience in another way - the iterative development of an expert consensus-based set of criteria for MAiD in circumstances where a mental disorder is the sole underlying medical condition.[2] The current MAiD reporting requirements[3] are insufficient to address the crucial upcoming questions regarding MAiD in the context described above. The recent article by van Veen and colleagues[1] provides a window into a possible future for Canadian practice regarding medical assistance in dying (MAiD) among people for whom a mental disorder is the sole underlying medical condition.
