However, the possibility of organ donation can be raised once the MAID request has been granted, and increasing numbers of Canadians requesting MAID are asking to donate their organs after death. One study found Canada performs more organ donations after euthanasia than any other country that has legalized the practice. Between 2019, the first year it was available, and 2021, Canada performed 136 organ donations after euthanasia. In 2021, Canada had 41 cases, compared to only 20 in Belgium, The Netherlands and Spain combined.
