From Canada health's own annual report
In 2020, there were 7,595 cases of MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying, kawaii cute naming assholes) reported in Canada, accounting for 2.5% of all deaths in Canada.
The number of cases of MAID in 2020 represents a growth rate of 34.2% over 2019. All provinces experienced a steady year over year growth during 2020.
When all data sources are considered, the total number of medically assisted deaths reported in Canada since the enactment of federal legislation in mid-2016 is 21,589.
2.5% of all deaths with 34.2 percent growth year over year? Yikes
edit: oh... article linked the report towards the bottom, I didn't read that far before I stopped reading and looked into it myself because everything on the internet is a lie until proven otherwise.
What's the breakdown in demographic groups?
Here are some key bits
men (52.3%) women (47.7%)
average age of MAID recipients in 2021 was 76.3 years, slightly higher than the average age in 2019 and 2020 (75.2 and 75.3 respectively).
The greatest proportion of persons receiving MAID in 2021 were in the 76-80 age group (16.3%), followed by the 71-75 (15.8%) age group and 65-70 (14.7%) age group. This is a slight change from 2020, where the majority of MAID recipients were in the 71-75 (16.2%) age group. Similar to previous years, in 2021 the majority of MAID recipients (95.1%) were age 56 and up, with 83.3% who were age 65 and older.
4.9% of recipients were between the ages of 18 and 55.
The number one data point I want to see is [single/alone/no family] versus the opposite.
