Are “mature minors” capable of giving consent to end their own lives? Canada’s Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) recently recommended that assisted suicide for minors should be permitted even without parental consent. One section of the report focused on assisted suicide options for “mature minors” in Canada. The report highlighted the debate among government witnesses on expanding assisted suicide to those who are not yet legal adults.

Viva Frei AKA David Freiheit – Canadian lawyer and host of Viva Frei on Rumble – joins Dr. Kelly Victory and Dr. Drew to discuss the legal and social implications of the MAID’s proposals. Follow him at https://twitter.com/thevivafrei
