Alexander Raikin, Visiting Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, delves into Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program, revealing troubling regulatory noncompliance, as Ontario's euthanasia regulators have tracked 428 cases of possible criminal violations without referring a single case to law enforcement, according to leaked documents.
