Kiano was not terminally ill. Kiano was a diabetic that resulted in him becoming legally blind and experiencing some neuropathy. But Kiano was driven to seek death by euthanasia based on his mental health. 

Kiano's mother explains in the interview how shocking it was for her to learn on January 3, 2026. Kiano was originally approved to be killed by euthanasia in September 2022, but his death was averted, at that time, when his mother launched a social media campaign, with the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, to change the mind of the euthanasia doctor.

Since then Kiano has been subsequently turned down, in Ontario, for euthanasia based on him not fulfilling the requirements of Canada's (MAiD) euthanasia law.

But Dr Wiebe, in Vancouver approved Kiano's death and killed him on December 30, 2025.
