CP NewsAlert: Ontario court dismisses Toronto woman’s motion to apply for MAID for mental illness

An Ontario judge has dismissed a motion that would have allowed a woman with a mental illness to apply for a medically assisted death (MAID). Claire Brosseau's motion denied the exemption from a law that currently prevents people from applying for MAID based solely on mental illness. The decision maintains the current stance that MAID can only be applied for in cases of severe and incurable physical illness or impairment.
