Alexander Raikin, a bioethic specialist at the Centre for Ethics and Public Policy stated in the fresh Atlantis diary that "the regulatory authorities dealing with euthanasia" had not reported to the police since 2018 any incidental related to the violation of euthanasia rules in Ontario. specified “incidents” related to the violation of the Medical Aid Act in the event of death (MAID) were over 400.
Raikin, citing evidence of violations by another physicians, noted that the Ontario Chief Coroner's office headed by Dr. Dirk Huyer “identified hundreds of problems” concerning the incompatibility of doctors' conduct with the MAID regulatory policy and that there was a violation of the provisions of the Criminal Code, yet it was not decided to initiate proceedings against perpetrators.
Of the violations, the documentation on how a individual is qualified for euthanasia, the failure to comply with the "federal reporting requirements" on alleged assisted suicide, is incomplete.
According to euthanasia regulations, doctors administering lethal doses to people in Canada are required to comply with different regulations, including whether a individual with suicidal tendencies can qualify for a ‘procedure’ of killing at all.
Huyer boasted that his office was “probably the most effective in Canada” in overseeing the enforcement of euthanasia law. As of 2018, it identified 428 infringements, of which only in 2023 there were 178 problems. Of the more than 400 infringements, only 4 cases have been reported to the regulatory authority. In another cases, the infringement was considered to be ‘lower-level offences and not a single case was reported to the police’.
Alex Schadenberg, executive manager of the Ontario-based Coalition for the Prevention of Euthanasia laments the scale of cover-up of violations and the impunity of those who commit them. The coalition demands an investigation into non-compliance. Ontario's coroner himself admitted that any doctors ignored the coroner's office's warnings of non-compliance.
Canadian legislators have been allowing patients to be killed by poison since 2016. Since then, euthanasia has increased rapidly authoritative government statistic show that in 2022 the sixth most common origin of death in Canada was the application of the MAID Act. In 2024 13 241 people were killed in this way.
Euthanasia supporters want to extend the MAID to people suffering from intellectual illness. late Quebec began allowing people to euthanise, even if they “are incapable to consent to their death”.
Active or passive euthanasia (assisted suicide) – regardless of their circumstances – are absolutely condemned by the Catholic Church and can never be accepted. The catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us that “direct euthanasia, regardless of its motives and means, is to put an end to the lives of the handicapped, the sick, or the dying. It is morally unacceptable’.
"The act or omission of action which, in itself or in purpose, inflicts death to destruct pain constitutes a homicide that is profoundly contrary to the dignity of the human individual and respects the surviving God, its Creator. The mistake in the judgement in which good religion can be cast does not alter the nature of this criminal act, which must always be condemned and excluded." Any aid in killing another individual is besides forbidden.
