This woman’s only known diagnoses are autism and ADHD. She was assessed for MAiD 4 times by 5 doctors and now has been given approval.

Considering the zeal by which some MAID providers glorify MAiD as a universal solution for 'suffering', we ought to be deeply deeply concerned by this judgment #euthanasia #maid cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

This is a really concerning situation. She stated her death was “reasonably foreseeable” but was approved for Track 2. From a previous story: cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Here is the recent ruling: canlii.org/en/ab/abkb/doc…

Oh my god: The fifth doctor that eventually approved the request was through a “tie-breaker” process that is not outlined in @AHS_media’s MAiD policies but an “informal practice”

@AHS_media So let’s be clear: she did not get two doctors to approve her for MAID so our provincial health system FOUND ANOTHER DOCTOR FOR HER to approve her

@AHS_media I’m going to say again, regardless of anyone’s feelings about whether or not she should have the right to MAiD, this is a problem:

@AHS_media In Alberta, young patients do not have the right to decide with their doctors if they want to take hormone blockers, but patients can be approved for MAiD and the court cannot even review the clinical decision
