An Ontario family is calling for changes to medical assistance in dying (MAID) after the death of their son in B.C.


Kiano Vafaeian was 26 years old when he received MAID on Dec. 30.

His family says he lived with Type 1 diabetes and partial vision loss, but says that his biggest struggle was his mental health, which they believe should have made him ineligible for MAID.

“He said everything the doctors needed to hear in order to approve him,” Margaret Marsilla, Vafaeian’s mother, said. “Was he actually feeling that way? I strongly believe not.”

Vafaeian’s family said he first sought MAID in Ontario, where he was from, but was repeatedly denied for several years.

They said that is when he turned to B.C., where he was approved.

“He didn’t have the items necessary to qualify for MAID and quite frankly, the system failed him,” Joseph Caprara, Vafaeian’s stepfather, said.

Under Canada’s MAID law, Track 2 applies to people who are not terminally ill, but who have a serious and incurable condition.

It comes with additional safeguards, including a minimum 90-day assessment period and evaluations by two independent practitioners.

The family says a prominent MAID advocate, Dr. Ellen Wiebe, signed their son’s death certificate and alleges the safeguards were not fully followed.

“We believe she was coaching him in order for her to check off her own boxes to approve him,” Marsilla said.

In a statement to Global News, Wiebe said that each patient she has provided MAID to had a grievous and irremediable medical, not psychiatric, condition, adding each of them was capable of consent and that all Track 2 assessments took at least 90 days.

Randall White, an independent expert at the UBC Department of Psychiatry, told Global News that mental health issues often accompany conditions seen in Track 2 MAID cases.

“Are those conditions — those mental health conditions accompanying these other conditions — are they adequately assessed?” he said.

“Are they diagnosed even before MAID is a consideration? I would question that.”

B.C. Health Minister Josie Osborne said the government will continue to learn from everyone’s experiences and make any changes that might be warranted.

Would they sue the bridge he could have jumped off of because the "railings were too low?"

Dude was 26. If he wasn't mentally fit, that's too bad. The family should've done more, not the state.

I'd say no. Because that will cost money that they can save by MAIDing a 26 year old with a case of the sads.
 
Meh. He was brown (no shortage of those) and got MAID’ed for depression, not diabetes.

Who would want to spend their lives blind, on an insulin pump, and waiting for the next amputation? I’d be depressed under those circumstances too.

That said he’d have been better off volunteering to have stem cells injected into his pancreas or whatever. Seems silly to me to kill yourself instead of trying radical treatments that might advance medical science.

This is building a bridge installing designated jump off points and hiring a concierge service to guide people and push them off. Its delusional to claim most of these people would have killed themselves otherwise.
 
Pretty sure you still need family to sign your MAID form and still have to go through consoling for two years or so to make sure you want to die so this family knew about this. Unless BC is that much of a failed province.

yeah the "he would have just jumped off a bridge otherwise" argument is bullshit.
if it was true then he would have just jumped off the bridge, cause it's a million times faster than going through the months of bureaucratic process involved with MAID.

people who truly want to killthemselves will just do it. there is zero need for the state to get involved and do it for them.

Where are you getting that 2 year waiting period? Its 90 days. Gotta knock off those useless peasants quickly. Oh and your family does NOT have to be informed.

IMO if you don't have some terminal illness/permanent illness that removes your physical ability to kill yourself and you can't bring yourself to pull the trigger on one of the infinite ways you can cross the rainbow bridge as tons of people throughout history have managed than you clearly haven't thought it through/don't want it enough. Being completely unable to do anything yourself in all stages of life from beginning to end like some farm animal is like the ultimate expression of cuckdom not just for the individual but for society.

"Gosh it sure is a shame my son wasn't eligible to kill himself" first Chazz Petrella now this bullshit WHAT THE FUCK, CANADA?!
 
What a pussy.

Leafs are making suicide lame. In places where you gotta do it yourself and you can't just hop in a state run suicide booth, you have an opportunity to really make your statement when you decide to off yourself.

Blow your head off with a shotgun, do a swan dive off a tall building, drink hemlock like a pretentious classicist nerd, jump in front of a train, grab a cops gun, etc. Make it cool.

Suicide used to be badass.

Why would your family have to sign off on you, an adults, right to die? Lmao? Why would they have a say either way? There's not even the slightest logic in that, also ignoring the 9000 different scenarios where there is no family....and that's literally what the doctor is for.

Two years? You seem to be referencing the insurance policy suicide clause. It's 90 days. Who pays for the "consoling"? The province? The one he doesn't live in? Why would they waste that money when they can just stick a needle in him lol. Is he supposed to even though it's overwhelmingly poverty stricken plebs applying? Most normal canadian citizens can't pay for years of counseling let alone some poor retard with diabeetus. Counselors also have no medical qualifications of any kind so that would be a bizarre and pointless requirement.
 
The final stage of socialized medicine: it's impossible to pay for all the useless people so it's cheaper to just fucking kill them. The evil is pretending it's for compassionate reasons; if these fucks were just honest about it being a cost-saving measure it would be more tolerable.
