Tucker Carlson suggested that MAiD decisions in Canada can be made by virtually any health-care worker, without oversight. In reality, only physicians and nurse practitioners can assess eligibility for or provide MAiD—and nurse practitioners are highly trained clinicians with advanced education and an expanded scope of practice. Registered nurses may support the process, but they cannot approve or provide MAiD. Carlson’s framing is not only false; it appears designed to undermine trust in health-care professionals and the safeguards governing assisted dying.

Tucker Carlson claimed that more Europeans have been killed through legal euthanasia since 1945 than were murdered by the Nazis. That would require assisted deaths in Europe to exceed roughly 12 million. The actual total is nowhere close—making Carlson’s statement not merely misleading, but absurdly and demonstrably false.

Kelsi Sheren and Tucker Carlson claimed that no “real” religious believer would choose MAiD because every religion prohibits it. In reality, religious communities are diverse: many people of faith support assisted dying, and some choose it while continuing to practise and express their faith. Their sweeping claim erases those individuals and reduces deeply personal religious beliefs to a simplistic stereotype unsupported by evidence.

Kelsi Sheren claimed that diabetes was the reason for 13% of assisted deaths in British Columbia. The likely source of her claim actually shows that diabetes was recorded as one of several possible medical conditions for just 5.8% of MAiD recipients—not necessarily the condition driving their request. The data do not show that anyone received MAiD solely because they had diabetes, making Sheren’s claim both mathematically wrong and deeply misleading.
