'I could live 30 years - but want to die': Has assisted dying in Canada gone too far?

Canada has one of the most liberal systems of assisted dying in the world.

It introduced Maid in 2016 , initially for terminally ill adults with a serious and incurable physical illness.

Critics say Canada is an example of the "slippery slope", meaning that once you pass an assisted dying law it will inevitably widen its scope.

Opponents say death is coming to be seen as a standard treatment option for those with disabilities.

Some 96% of Maid provisions are under "track one" where death is "reasonably foreseeable" Dr Trouton says that means patients are on a "trajectory toward death" The Westminster bill would not allow doctors to give a lethal dose rather patients would have to self-administer the drugs.

Opponents argue it's being used as a cheaper alternative to providing adequate social or medical support.

In Britain , judges in the most senior courts have repeatedly said any potential change to the law around assisted dying is a matter for Parliament .

April knows some people may look at her, a young woman, and wonder why she would die.

"We're the masters of masking and not letting people see that we're suffering," she says.
