Abstract
Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) has become more assessable in Canada for those with and without long term chronic illness. The changes in legislation have brought significant concerns to Canadians and healthcare professionals. This Paper critically examines the current and past legislation from an anti- oppressive theoretical lens. Since the Canadian government has significantly changed the legislation since, MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) Bill C-7 was passed in 2016. This paper begins with a discussion of a brief introduction followed by a theoretical framework, anti-oppressive practice. Eligibility and accessing process for MAiD will be explored in this article. This paper concludes with the presentation of the implications in social work profession and health care and provide some recommendations.
期刊介绍：
Mind & Society is a journal for ideas, explorations, investigations and discussions on the interaction between the human mind and the societal environments. Scholars from all fields of inquiry who entertain and examine various aspects of these interactions are warmly invited to submit their work. The journal welcomes case studies, theoretical analysis and modeling, data analysis and reports (quantitative and qualitative) that can offer insight into existing frameworks or offer views and reason for the promise of new directions for the study of interaction between the mind and the society. The potential contributors are particularly encouraged to carefully consider the impact of their work on societal functions in private and public sectors, and to dedicate part of their discussion to an explicit clarification of such, existing or potential, implications.Officially cited as: Mind Soc
