Quebec College of Physicians supports EUTHANASIA as "appropriate treatment" for severely ill infants
- The Quebec College of Physicians has reaffirmed its support for allowing euthanasia in rare cases involving newborns with severe, untreatable conditions causing unrelievable suffering and no chance of survival.
- Initially raised in 2022, the idea would extend MAiD to babies with extreme deformities or grave syndromes, marking a shift from passive withdrawal of care to active euthanasia.
- The proposal has sparked national debate over the legal, ethical and moral implications, particularly surrounding informed consent for non-verbal, non-autonomous patients.
- Since its 2016 legalization, Canada's MAiD law has grown to include those with chronic illnesses and mental illness will be included starting in 2027 under Bill C-7.
- A report by The Atlantic revealed euthanasia now accounts for nearly 1 in 20 Canadian deaths, overwhelming medical providers and outpacing other nations with similar laws.
The Quebec College of Physicians (CMQ) has publicly affirmed its support for
expanding Canada's medical assistance in dying (MAiD) laws to include infants born with severe, untreatable health conditions.
In 2022, the CMQ's Dr. Louis Roy first suggested
the policy be considered for babies up to one year old facing "very grave and severe medical syndromes" or "extreme deformations" where suffering is beyond alleviation. Canadian law currently permits the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment for critically ill infants, but this proposal would actively end a child's life. (Related:

Critics have raised the alarm over the moral and legal implications of such a move, especially in light of concerns around informed consent. But on Monday, Aug. 25, the CMQ reiterated its stance on the issue.
The provincial medical regulator said that in rare and extreme cases, euthanasia may be considered a
form of "appropriate treatment" for newborns experiencing unrelievable pain due to serious congenital malformations or multi-system syndromes that eliminate any realistic chance of survival.
"The CMQ reiterates that medical assistance in dying may be an appropriate treatment for babies suffering from extreme pain that cannot be relieved and who have severe malformations or serious polysymptomatic syndromes that destroy any prospect of survival," a spokesperson said.
CMQ further asserted that under such circumstances, parents should have the legal option to seek this form of care for their child. Alarmingly, the college refers to the procedure as "care" under "well-defined circumstances."
Canada's euthanasia expansion has triggered an alarming surge in demand since 2016 legalization
According to
Brighteon.AI's Enoch, Canada legalized assisted suicide in 2016. This legislation, known as the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) law, allows adults whose deaths were "reasonably foreseeable" due to terminal illness to request euthanasia. Since then,
Canada has officially expanded its MAID law to include those with chronic illnesses and mental disabilities.
The expansion follows the passage of
a revised version of Bill C-7 in 2021. Under the new law, chronically ill patients who are suffering, even if not at risk of imminent death, may now qualify for assisted suicide.
Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for
people with mental illness to access MAiD. The expansion was originally set to take effect in March 2023 under Bill C-7, but it will not come into effect until 2027, following intense opposition from a wide range of stakeholders.
In turn, a recent report by
The Atlantic revealed that the demand for assisted dying in Canada has soared so dramatically that doctors certified to perform the procedure are reportedly struggling to keep up. Since its legalization in 2016, euthanasia now accounts for nearly one in every 20 deaths across the country – a rate that far outpaces other nations where similar laws have been in place for decades.
