About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of state-sponsored euthanasia in Canada and its potential adoption in California, featuring insights from legal experts.

But what happens in Canada doesn’t often stay with its borders: California is rapidly adopting draconian measures that mirror Canada’s radical program. Since it was made legal in 2016, MAiD has been responsible for over 76,000 deaths in Canada, now accounting for over five percent of all deaths in the country.
