Is it too easy to die in Canada? Surprising approvals for medically assisted death -The Fifth Estate

Since Canada legalized medical assistance in dying (MAID) in 2016, more than 30,000 Canadians have opted to die this way, including many who are not terminally ill. The Fifth Estate examines why some are making the choice to die and why critics say the system is becoming too permissive. #AssistedDying #MAID #MentalHealth producer/director RONNA SYED writer GILLIAN FINDLAY associate producer ROXANNA WOLOSHYN video editor LORETTA HICKS additional editing SHELDON BELDICK MORNA SCOTT DUNNE senior videographer ANDY HINCENBERGS JON CASTELL JOHN BADCOCK csc additional cinematography ANDREW LEE JASON POPE additional research LISA ELLENWOOD CATHY ROSS DIANA REDEGELD KATE ZIEMAN archival material ALICIA DUNCAN CHRISTIE DUNCAN AMIR FARSOUD MARGARET MARSILLA MIKE MARSILLA KIANO VAFAEIAN PARLVU POND5 special thanks HUMBER RIVER HOSPITAL JOE GORMAN graphic designers NEIL JOYES TIM KINDRACHUK FROILAN UNTALASCO graphic director ELA AZZOPARDI JEFF GOLDHAR visual research LESLIE MORRISON media management ABRAHAM BARMADA post audio RON SEARLES colourist SCOTT McINTYRE rollout producer LEANNE STEPNOW social media producer BRITNEI BILHETE theme music STEVE D'ANGELO project manager VICTOR KERR associate director NANCI KING packaging editor ALESSIA PROTOMANNI resource coordinators MEGAN BEECKMANS SAM NAR coordinating associate director RHONDA KIRKPATRICK senior producer ALLYA DAVIDSON executive producer DIANA SWAIN original broadcast JANUARY 19, 2023 - Subscribe for more videos from The Fifth Estate: 🤍bit.ly/25W8cpn Connect with The Fifth Estate online: Website : 🤍bit.ly/1d0FBxq Facebook : 🤍bit.ly/1UO9B8S Twitter : 🤍bit.ly/237VM8P Instagram : 🤍bit.ly/25W8SLs About The Fifth Estate: For four decades The Fifth Estate has been Canada's premier investigative documentary program.
