Jennifer Brady, a 46-year-old Nova Scotia woman with severe lymphedema, has sought medically assisted death (MAID) after struggling for years to obtain out-of-country surgery for her condition. Her application was denied because her illness is not deemed "irremediable." Despite experiencing intense pain and infections, she needs provincial funding for treatment unavailable locally.
