      Canada seems to be using organs from euthanized patients for transplantation in other patients. Isn’t this a slippery slope?

      >[Canada](https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/american-man-gets-heart-from-38-year-old-ontario-als-patient-who-died-by-maid#:~:text=died%20by%20MAID-,American%20man%20gets%20heart%20from%2038%2Dyear%2Dold%20Ontario%20ALS,patient%20who%20died%20by%20MAID&text=An%20American%20man%20dying%20of,a%20heart%20transplant%20following%20euthanasia.) is already a world leader in ODE — organ donation after euthanasia — according to a [review](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ajt.17198) published by Dutch researchers that found of the 286 instances identified up to and including 2021, 136 were Canadian.

      When is the conversation about organ donation started?

      >However, how, and when, to approach people requesting MAID about organ donation is controversial and varies in Canada, according to the review paper. Organ donor organizations in Ontario and British Columbia recommend that people who request MAID “are approached and informed about the possibility of organ donation.” In others, like Alberta and Manitoba, people aren’t asked about organ donation unless they start the conversation themselves.

      Are poor people more likely to seek MAID?

      >Stories have accumulated of people being driven to MAID primarily because of poverty, or a lack of adequate health care or social supports.

      If an adult of sound mine consents to assisted suicide and consents to being an organ donor, then good for them. Only issue comes when it is without consent.

      I’m in Canada.
      Assisted suicide is pretty rare.

      and personally, based on my previous drinking habits, I’m pretty sure most of my organs are not usable.

    4. What a truly cynical way of looking at it. I have a family member who had MAID and it was a blessing, i’ll fight for it until i die.

      I mean. Good in theory but when adding the inevitable organ harvesting that we knew could be abused, could be dangerous

      Why do Canadians organs go to people not from Canada?

      I’m sure we have people who need organs here too…
