Chelsea Roff is the co-author on a recent study on Assisted Death and Eating Disorders published by Frontiers in Psychiatry on July 30, 2024 which examined 60 known cases of euthanasia or assisted suicide for eating disorders.
During the webinar, Roff will discuss the cases that she researched for the study, she will discuss why eating disorders are not terminal, she will tell her own story, and she will explain how she helps people recover from eating disorders. We will leave time for questions.

People need to be encouraged to live, not encouraged to die!
We are approaching the bottom of the slippery slope when anyone, without cause, will be able to get assisted suicide. The next step could very well become compulsory assisted suicide for those the governments regards as “ untermenschen”.
I thought the government has paused/stopped MAID against any mental illness!? Eating disorders are a result of mental illness.
Euthanasia for mental illness alone has been paused. Euthanasia for mental illness has always been possible in Canada if the person has other conditions and the person is deemed to be competent.
