Dr. Miriam Colleran:

When we look at it from an international perspective there are increasing concerns. There are definitely concerns in Canada about what is happening to people who are vulnerable. The UN disability rapporteur was concerned about track 1 in Canada. Track 1 was the initial introduction of euthanasia. In Canada, they predominantly practice euthanasia rather than clinician assisted suicide. The vast majority of deaths through their medical assistance in dying, MAiD, system, are performed by the clinician who administers the medication to cause the person to die.
