美国卫生部长罗伯特·肯尼迪说,医疗协助死亡 (MAID) 是加拿大主要的死因. U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed medical assistance in dying (MAID) is the leading cause of death in Canada, a statement described as misleading by fact-checkers. 官方数据显示,根据世界卫生组织指南的规定, MAID 并未被列为死亡原因. Official data shows MAID is not listed as a cause of death under World Health Organization guidelines, which track underlying medical conditions. 2024年,癌症和心脏病是最主要的原因,而MAID占总死亡人数的一小部分. In 2024, cancer and heart disease were the top causes, with MAID accounting for a small fraction of total deaths.
