Euthanasia such as MAID in Canada a concerning side issue. A EU based Hepatology Association’s based journal published a new study researching the efficacy and the increasing usage of euthanised people’s organs.
https://www.journal-of-hepatology.eu/…/S0168…/fulltext
" Conclusions:
Liver grafts from MAiD donors provide outcomes comparable to DCD-III and increased Canadian DCD activity by 21.8%. These findings support MAiD as a valuable additional source of liver grafts, though larger studies are needed to validate long-term safety and efficacy.
Implications:
Liver transplantation using grafts from donors following medical assistance in dying (MAiD) achieves satisfactory patient and graft survival, with complication rates comparable to those following conventional donation after circularly death. MAiD donation increased donation after circularly death liver transplant activity in Canada by 21.8% over 7 years. These findings support MAiD as a valuable additional source of grafts, while also honoring the wishes of patients who choose to donate their organs."
The deep concern regarding progression and increase in euthanasia is obviously the ethics of services such as MaID now extended to minors in Canada https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168851024001829 for and the ethics of organ extractions given the sale and value of organs extracted. Hearts for example can be worth as much as $1 million dollars and Livers $550 K dollars. https://medicalfuturist.com/how-much-is-life-worth/
