MAiD in Canada: A Sober Second Look Day 2

Saturday, Sept. 28, 8 a.m.-5:15 p.m.

Emera Innovation Exchange, Signal Hill Campus

In the eight years since Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) became legal in Canada, Canada has become one of the most liberal MAiD regimes in the world. The Centre for Bioethics at Memorial University is hosting an international symposium to consider what has been happening in this space, how we as a country got to where we are in this regard, and what if anything we should be doing differently moving forward.

Plenary speakers are Trudo Lemmens, Faculty of Law, University of Toronto; Isabel Grant, Faculty of Law, University of British Columbia; Scott Kim, Department of Bioethics, National Institutes of Health, USA; and Wayne Sumner, Professor Emeritus, Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto. Symposium proceedings will be published in a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Bioethics.

The symposium will take place at Memorial’s Signal Hill Campus, against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean and the iconic Signal Hill National Historic Site Sept. 27-28, 2024.

The public is welcome, though pre-registration is required. The registration deadline is Friday, Sept. 20.

To register – https://mun.jotform.com/241413539047050. The registration fee for the two-day symposium is $100, or pay $75 to attend either the first or second day.
