I think any article that cites assisted suicide statistics without breaking it down by Track 1 vs Track 2, should not be taken seriously.
The author cites 5% as the “number too high” but as someone who’s had a family member who’s been through the MAiD system, Track 2 is pretty difficult to get so I would t be surprised if most of that 5% is Track 1, but we wouldn’t know from this article.
