Case reference: MAID-XX-2026-BKD5 · Province not stated in sources · MAID raised by others; not requested · Recorded by the register as a MAID victim
Who she was
She was the mother-in-law of the X user @carnaganwolfe. She was dying of bone cancer.
What happened
“My mother-in-law was dying from bone cancer. 2 weeks before she passed, a Dr brought up MAID (only time it happened), but said no one else could choose for her. She said no, and he commented that she could change her mind if needed later, but it was never suggested further.”
Why they were pushed toward MAID
In her last weeks, a doctor raised MAID with her unprompted. When she said no, he did not leave it there: he told her she could change her mind later, keeping death on the table for a dying woman who had already refused it.
What her family says
Her family shared her experience publicly as an example of MAID being raised by doctors with patients who had not asked for it.
What this case shows
A doctor put MAID to a dying woman who had not asked for it, and told her the offer stood after she refused. She died of her cancer two weeks after MAID was raised. Her case shows doctors initiating MAID even in the final days of palliative care.
