Results
#1. Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) is the ____ leading cause of death in Canada:
MAiD is the fifth leading cause of death in Canada. It is estimated that approximately 45 people per day die by MAiD.
#2. For which of the following “problems” has MAiD (Canada’s assisted suicide program) been offered as a solution for vulnerable individuals?
Reports have shown that individuals seeking help for various trials in their lives have instead been offered access to the MAiD program. Dr. Ramona Coelho, a strong voice against medically assisted suicide, says that “Canada’s vulnerable communities are being offered suicide assistance instead of suicide prevention.”
#3. . Professor Trudo Lemmans described assisted suicide as a(n) “______.”
Professor Lemmans warned that medically assisted suicide was a “Pandora’s Box,” where the programs have crossed a line by being offered to vulnerable and at risk individuals before they are being offered help for their problems. In some cases, veterans have received email invitations to MAiD seminars and when they went, they saw that there were no alternative resources for those who were struggling. As one veteran, Kelsi Sheren, said, “They didn’t invite a trauma specialist. They didn’t invite a palliative [care] expert. They didn’t invite a police mental-health advocate. They didn’t invite a mental health expert. They didn’t invite a [doctor] who looks at psychedelic assisted therapy. They didn’t invite hope. They only invited death.”
#4. Select all that apply: Which of the following has Dr. Philip Nitschke (or “Dr. Death”) done to promote assisted suicide?
Select all that apply:
Nitschke has been a huge advocate of assisted suicide throughout his decades of work. His suicide handbook, the “Peacefull Pill Book,” has previoulsy been sold on Amazon alongside methodology one would require in order to commit suicide (specifically sodium nitrate and a scale to measure the exact dosage one would need to take to die).
#5. How many suicide kits did one man sell to vulnerable individuals?
Kenneth Law sold suicide kits to 1200 indivduals using tutilage from Dr. Nitschke. At least one of those kits sold by Law resulted in the death of a minor. At least a hundred deaths have been able to be tied back to him from countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Italy and New Zealand. When questioned about the situation, Dr. Nitschke admitted that he would refer people seeking such kits directly to Law and even published Law’s information in his assisted suicide organization’s handbook.
#6. Bonus Question from Last Time: Which of the following countries was the first to pass legislation banning youth under the age of 16 from accessing social media platforms?
Australia passed legislation that went into effect December of 2025 that all children under the age of 16 would be banned from accessing social media sites. While this is an amazing step towards protecting children, a follow up survey done in March 2026 showed that the majority of underaged children still had managed to gain access to their social media sites.
