In Canada, Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) is legal for many Canadians based on several criteria, though minors who are deemed sufficiently capable to make medical decisions (ie, mature minors) remain ineligible. In this webinar, the reflections from an article recently published in Healthcare Management Forum are shared, providing insight on recent philosophical and legal evidence related to MAiD for mature minors. The aim of this webinar is build on the knowledge shared in this work and highlight impacts of this discussion for health leaders to consider.
