"Anorexic Woman's Disturbing Plan to Die Under Canada's Assisted Dying Laws"

Lisa Pauli, a 47-year-old woman from Canada who has battled anorexia for nearly 40 years, has revealed her plan to die as soon as Canada expands its criteria for medically assisted death. Pauli, who weighs just 92 pounds and struggles with eating solid foods, has tried numerous treatments and hospitalizations but feels exhausted and believes she has lived her life. An expansion of the criteria for medically assisted death in Canada, set to take effect in March 2024, will allow individuals like Pauli, whose sole underlying condition is mental illness, to choose assisted death. However, disability rights and religious advocates express concerns about the potential risks and lack of access to social services for those considering medically assisted death.
