Ideally, we'd have legal and well-regulated euthanasia, and those who are genuinely suffering with no real hope should have a better way out than 'blowing their brains out'.
But Canada's experiment with this is showing the potential dangers of that, of offering euthanasia as a 'solution' to poverty in old age.

That option has always been on the table and plenty of people have taken advantage of that. It's not as if Canada was keeping disabled people out of poverty before euthanasia was an option. I don't think very many people are saying that Canada shouldn't improve conditions for people just because poor could simply die with government approval instead of dying illegally they way they always had been.
