From EWTN News:
Advocates and civic officials are warning of the high numbers of donated organs from assisted suicide victims in Canada, arguing that organ donation programs for suicidal individuals could lead to additional pressure for such patients to decide to end their lives by assisted suicide.
Data have shown consistently high numbers of organ donations in Canada tied to the country’s medical aid in dying (MAID) program. A 2024 study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, for instance, found “a substantial increase in deceased [organ] donation after MAID in the first five years of implementation in Quebec.” And a 2022 study in the American Journal of Transplantation found that nearly half of euthanasia victims in the survey who donated organs came from Canada.
