- Abstract
The Criminal Code of Canada has been amended to allow medical assistance in dying (MAiD) under prescribed criteria. There has been considerable debate regarding whether people with mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition should be eligible. It is argued that access to MAiD is not compatible with recovery-oriented care. Based on a comprehensive analysis exploring the ethical principles guiding decision making around MAiD, this paper offers a discussion of the compatibility between MAiD and recovery-oriented care and demonstrates significant overlap of these principles. The discussion around MAiD as an option in recovery-oriented care is legitimate and needs to continue.
