MAiD and Organ donation - HUGE ethical concerns

Should Canadians have ethical concerns about organs being harvested and used in transplants after patients die by #MAiD?

Dr. Claire Middleton, a 25-year transplant anesthesiologists thinks so. She was "side-swiped" when she learned that organs were being sourced through #euthanasia.

"The scary thing for me is the loosening of criteria around MAiD. Now we are talking about...taking organs from people that do not have life-threatening illness."

In this 35 min #interview with the Kooman Brothers, Dr. Middleton shares in-depth about how organ transplants work, the laws that require doctors to seek out donors and how MAiD laws create areas for very real ethical concerns.

Portions of the interview will be featured in our upcoming episode for #MAiDinCanada about Organ Donation & Euthanasia
