Tim reacts to a news story about Canada's MAID euthanasia program approving a 23-year-old diabetic man with vision loss for assisted suicide, and his mother's frantic attempt to stop it after finding out through his Facebook and email.
- Canada's assisted suicide law allows people to sign up for Medical Assistance in Dying over relatively minor issues like a bad day.
- A 23-year-old diabetic named Kiano was approved for assisted suicide after losing sight in one eye and struggling with depression.
- Tim finds it insane that Canada would approve someone with diabetes and partial blindness to die at 23 rather than someone with late-stage cancer.
- When Kiano's mother called the doctor posing as a prospective patient with similar conditions, the physician seemed eager to accommodate her request.
- The approval process in Canada is so casual that calling with diabetes and describing yourself gets you scheduled for assisted suicide with minimal pushback.
