Medical freedom advocates are documenting emerging ties between euthanasia and organ harvesting.

Canada legalized euthanasia in 2016 , and since then the number of Canadians using MAID to kill themselves has significantly increased.

Rob Sibbald suggested blurring the lines on the “dead donor rule,” a long-standing medical ethics guideline requiring that donors die of another natural cause before doctors harvest their organs.

Canada is the top country for organ donations via euthanasia.

Anti-euthanasia advocates say euthanasia victims are another means for doctors to obtain organs.

Canada 's national health system had an organ shortage in December 2022 , with more than 3,700 patients awaiting a transplant.

Trafficked organs constitute up to 10 percent of organ transplants worldwide, study says.

A kidney can range from $50,000 to $120,000 ; a kidney can be sold for up to $100,000 .

“It is the Canadian cull’ — a systematic elimination of the weak, sick, old, and vulnerable via the state euthanasia program called MAID .”.
