Episode 127: The Great Canadian Euthanasia Experiment (with Mickey Inzlicht)
Episode 127
Monday, 9 February, 2026
Mickey and Yoel talk about Canada's controversial euthanasia law (called MAID: medical assistance in dying). Since its introduction in 2016, an increasing number of Canadians are choosing euthanasia (in recent years, more than 5% of deaths in Canada were the result of MAID). We talk about the history of the law, criticism of it in Canada and abroad, and our own discomfort (or lack of) with legal euthanasia. Separately, we also discuss a new paper that claims to show robust ego depletion effects--but is it just showing fatigue by another name?
