US EditionSon of woman who inspired assisted dying law chooses to die on his own terms
- Price Carter, son of Kay Carter who inspired assisted dying law, plans to end his life on his own terms in Kelowna, B.C., in 2025.
- His decision follows the 2016 federal legislation legalizing medical assistance in dying for adults whose deaths are reasonably foreseeable.
- Price, who has been living with advanced pancreatic cancer for nearly a year, has completed an initial evaluation and anticipates confirmation of his eligibility shortly.
- In 2023, 19,660 people applied for medical assistance in dying in Canada, with over 15,300 approvals, and medical assistance is increasingly common nationwide.
- Price urges Canadians to discuss death openly and advocates for expanded access, as many with dementia remain excluded from advance requests despite broad support.
