A while ago the ethical question was raised about MAID in Canada on how they're supposed to distinguish between "genuinely ill people making good use of the service" and "depressed people who have simply lost hope and are using MAID as a more formal way to kill themselves." As far as I know, they really can't. Not to mention the stories of people turning to MAID as an alternative to dealing with Canada's broken healthcare system. A healthy society doesn't encourage its members to kill themselves.
