Unravelling MAiD in Canada: Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide as Medical Care
Edited by Ramona Coelho, K. Sonu Gaind and Trudo Lemmens
“Since its legalization in 2016, health care professionals in Canada have provided more state-facilitated euthanasia and assisted suicide, or MAID, than in any other country. MAiD has quickly become one of the leading causes of death in Canada. Unravelling MAiD in Canada provides critical reflections on ethical, medical, legal, and disability justice concerns as more jurisdictions consider their own assisted dying laws and policies.”

Efficacy and safety of drugs used for ‘assisted dying’ 
Ana Worthington, Ilora Finlay, Claud Regnard
“Without independent oversight, claims of peaceful and compassionate deaths remain unverifiable.”  Providers may appear compassionate under supervision, but claims of a peaceful death are unknowable because patients die and therefore can’t be asked about the experience afterward.

Euthanasia in the Castle: Inside Europe’s Museums of Nazi Medical Crimes
By Amanda Achtman
Today we might instinctively look at Nazi criteria for death as utterly baseless, but at the time seasoned medical professionals regarded them as reasonable. To have a sense of history is to grasp the arbitrariness of such criteria. When it comes to killing patients, there is no way to get the criteria just right because the stamp of medical approval sends a social message that there is a category of persons who should not exist.

Government Economics of Expanding Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying to Vulnerable Populations and the Ethical Implications of Allowing the State to Control Death
Uzair Jamil and Joshua M. Pearce
This study explores the potential economic savings from expanding medical assistance in
dying (MAiD) in Canada, where it is currently a leading cause of death, to include vulnerable
groups that cost the government more than they contribute in taxes. The findings highlight a need for ethical scrutiny of MAiD policy expansion.
