Dr Ellen Wiebe, known for her advocacy and provision of assisted suicide in Canada, has overseen more than 400 procedures since legalization in 2016. She defends expanding access to euthanasia, including for vulnerable groups such as the poor and potentially minors, arguing that personal autonomy should not be limited by circumstances like poverty or age. Critics warn that Canada's rapidly growing euthanasia program risks pressuring disadvantaged individuals into choosing death, citing cases where patients sought assisted suicide due to social factors rather than terminal illness. Despite legal challenges and public controversy, Wiebe remains committed to her work and expects further expansion of the program, emphasizing her role in supporting Canadians' right to make end-of-life decisions.
