Talk Truth 07.09.26 – Leighton Grey | Canada was told Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) would be rare, reserved for extreme end-of-life cases, and offered only with the greatest caution. Leighton Grey argues the program has expanded far beyond those original promises, raising difficult moral, legal, and spiritual questions about the value of human life. The conversation explores Canada’s changing definition of compassion, the responsibility to care for the vulnerable, and why a society is ultimately judged by how it treats those who suffer.
