Eugenics in Disguise: Canada’s MAID Program Now Aims at the Mentally Ill and Disabled

“We are turning healthcare practitioners… into every day serial killers.”

Kelsi Sheren, a military veteran turned social activist, is sounding the alarm about Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program.

“MAID is medical assistance in dying, but let’s call it what it is. It’s eugenics. It’s not MAID. It’s eugenics. And the reason I say that so emphatically is because the statistic around who is using medical assistance and dying versus who is being euthanized are radically different.”

While MAID was originally created to help terminally ill patients end their suffering, Sheren argues it has morphed into something more concerning: a system that increasingly targets people with mental health challenges, disabilities, and other non-terminal conditions.

“We had a girl in British Columbia last year... walked into Vancouver hospital. She was suicidal... She was met by the doctors who told her she couldn’t see psychiatrists for six months... And then she was then sat down while the nurse put her hand on her knee and said, ‘Have you heard of MAID?’ to a vulnerable person who just expressed that she was suicidal.”

Sheren compares this to eugenics - the controversial historical practice of trying to “improve” society by controlling who gets to live or reproduce.

“This is a movement to remove the vulnerable, disabled, liabilities, burdens on society, full stop. That’s what this is. This is not compassion and care dying with dignity or empathy. This is, let’s remove the problems from society.”

“We are turning healthcare practitioners who went into the practice to help people. We are turning them into every day serial killers. And there is a moral issue to that, that those doctors, those family members, were not like, not ready, not trained to handle at all.”

What started as a program meant to offer choices to dying patients has expanded to include people who might be struggling with depression, anxiety, or other treatable conditions.
