  • Suicide In Canad Moral, Legal, And Policy Considerations By Travis Dums Day

    561 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the book Assisted Suicide in Canada: Moral, Legal, and Policy Considerations by Travis Dumsday, a counter argument to the legal precedent for medical assistance in dying (MAID) in Canada is constructed. The main approach Dumsday makes to substantiate his stance is exhibiting the moral and ethical controversy that MAID creates in Canda, and how the Legality of MAID should be overturned. Several types of avenues of data and methodologies are used in the book to support Dumsday’s anti-MAID arguments. Firstly, they develop the historical context of MAID in Canada and attempt to express errors in the original Carter V. Canda supreme court case and how flawed logic and immoral practices corrupted the case, which has led to the expansion of Medically assisted euthanasia in Canada. The author then begins an explanation of the morality and ethical quandary he feels about MAID and how morality should point toward if not a cessation of MAID that a governmental decision to not fund the program.
