Kory Earle is president of People First of Canada, a national organization representing people with intellectual disabilities. Listen to his moving testimony about his life and his feelings about extending medical assistance in dying to people with disabilities.

“Everything, and I mean everything, is more difficult for people with intellectual disabilities. Many, many other things should be made easier. This [assisted death] is not one of them,” he says.

This recording is from a forum held several months ago on proposed changes to Canadian law on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID).
