A growing number of patients who request medical assistance in dying are asking to donate their organs for transplant, says an international review that found that Canada is performing the most organ transplants from MAID patients among the countries that offer this practice.

Canada has socialized medicine, right? Is there a profit motive behind this?
The profit motive is that the public system does not want to pay for these patients - a number of MAID people chose to die because they couldn't get affordable and supportive housing for example. It's cheaper for the system for them to be dead than alive.
Every time they said they'd cut funding without losing services by "finding effeciencies", this is part of how they do it. The people who don't matter get denied service, there's not that many of them and no one with political power cares about them, and the government is not responsive to the public anyway.
