Background: Since the implementation of medical assistance in dying (MAiD), deceased organ donation after MAiD has been possible in Quebec. We sought to describe organ donations after MAiD in the first 5 years after this practice was implemented in Quebec.
Methods: We reviewed all cases referred for donation after MAiD from January 2018 to December 2022.
Article Synopsis

- The forum, initiated by Transplant Québec and involving numerous organizations, identified key domains and topics, incorporating input from diverse stakeholders including patients and families, to generate recommendations through a structured approach from March to September 2021.
- The forum resulted in 94 specific recommendations across various domains and established an ethical framework to guide future policy evaluations, with findings presented in a forum held in Montreal in October 2021.
