Comment on Former paralympian tells MPs veterans department offered her assisted deathparentComments−vbsd3yI was curious what 6th leading cause of death means in terms of percentages. From the annual report on MAID (medical assistance in dying) in Canada:In 2021, there were 10,064 MAID provisions reported in Canada, accounting for 3.3% of all deaths in Canada.The number of cases of MAID in 2021 represents a growth rate of 32.4% over 2020. All provinces continue to experience a steady year over year growth.https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/medical-assi...−wisnoskij3yYes, tho percentage is not a great way of interpolating the data since it has been 99% linear since its inception with a slope averaging 1.7k additional deaths per year.
