Recent cases, including the suicide of Savannah Meadows, have highlighted the challenges faced by individuals with mental health conditions seeking medical assistance in dying (MAID). The Canadian government postponed a previously planned expansion of MAID eligibility to include those with mental illnesses until March 2027, citing the need for more safeguards. This delay has prompted both support and criticism from various stakeholders, including mental health advocates and family members of those seeking MAID. Alberta's government is also reviewing MAID policies, adding to the ongoing debate about mental health and euthanasia in Canada.
