一名美国男子接受了一名加拿大捐赠者的首次心脏移植,该捐赠者死于援助死亡,这是越来越多地利用MAID捐赠器官的一部分。 A U.S. man received the first heart transplant from a Canadian donor who died via assisted dying, part of growing use of MAID for organ donation.

一名59岁的美国男子接受了加拿大捐赠者首次已知的心脏移植,该捐赠者死于医疗援助(MAID),这是自2016年以来至少155个来自MAID接受者器官捐赠的一部分。 A 59-year-old American man received the first known heart transplant from a Canadian donor who died via medical assistance in dying (MAID), part of at least 155 organ donations since 2016 from MAID recipients. 加拿大的MAID计划目前占所有死亡的5%,其使用率不断上升,包括用于非临终性条件(如脆弱),引发了对胁迫和系统性激励的道德关切。 Canada’s MAID program, now accounting for 5% of all deaths, has seen rising use, including for non-terminal conditions like frailty, sparking ethical concerns over coercion and systemic incentives. 虽然国际开发署捐助者的器官移植在法律上是允许的,保险也涵盖在内,但批评者警告说要有一个滑坡,特别是在加拿大等待时间超过465天的情况下。 While organ transplants from MAID donors are legally permitted and covered by insurance, critics warn of a slippery slope, especially as wait times in Canada exceed 465 days.
