Sisters Alicia and Christie Duncan were originally only granted 48 hours notice that their mother was going to be euthanised.
It was Sunday, October 24, 2021, when 61-year-old Donna confessed to her family that she had been approved for Canada’s assisted-dying programme, officially known as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).
Her death was scheduled for the following Tuesday – expedited due to her having qualified for Canada’s streamlined ‘Track 1’ pathway, reserved for individuals whose natural death is reasonably foreseeable.
