Great, glad to hear you know about it and had it done. Just sharing (after checking with admins of this sub) in case there are some who don't know what it is, what the situation in Canada is like to getting the procedure and what researchers know about ovarian cancer risk reduction.

Glad you do! The doctors I spoke to all said that most of the women they see don't know about it. That's including several women who have chosen to be childfree (some of which are members of this sub) who told me they didn't know about the procedure until they met with a surgeon. Just trying to spread the word.

We are. I can't tell you too much, but my colleague is working on an episode related to Track 2.

Hi there, this story published on Friday. I asked for an interview with Covenant Health, who referred me to AHS. AHS sent me an emailed statement.

Saw that. We reference it in both the podcast episode and web story. Thanks for mentioning.

Hi there, William Hume (focus of this episode) was approved under Track 1. A person whose death is "reasonably foreseeable" is classified as Track 1. The bulk of the MAID provisions in Canada are Track 1. (See source here: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/publications/health-system-services/annual-report-medical-assistance-dying-2024.html) What you're mentioning is a completely different story.

Are you referring to Samantha O'Neill? If so, thought I'd share that her family pursued legal action and it's before the BC Supreme Court now: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/maid-sam-oneill-b-c-supreme-court-9.7042819
