You think that the poor should have fewer rights than others?
I have the right to choose to end my life within the regulations of MAiD. I'd hate to think that I lose that right simply because I'm "poor".
- ossobuco 2y agoWhat an absolutely ridicolous way to spin this. Now I'm 100% sure you're not poor by the way. Weird that only poor people will get recommendations for assisted suicide. Why aren't middle class families recommended it based on their income? I've heard a good ol' assisted suicide can solve pretty much anything nowadays!
- tejohnso 2y agoFirst you were talking about what is "allowed". Now you're talking about what is "recommended". But it seems like what is really going on is that you believe that there is some kind of conspiracy to use MAiD to eliminate the poor and you are unable to have a discussion that doesn't take that conspiracy theory as fact.
- ossobuco 2y agoApparently you don't know how MAiD works. If assisted suicide is allowed for a specific cause (like poverty or mental illness) then doctors can actually recommend it to patients[1][2]. I hope this helps you realize that "allowed" and "recommended" in this case can coincide. 1: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/british-columbia/article-maid-suicide-patient-vancouver/ https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/british-columbia/arti... 2: https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/canada-maid-assisted-suicide-homeless https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/canada-maid-assisted-su...
