I wholeheartedly support this point of view. Death should be an option freely and easily accessibile to anyone. Why have people here who don't want to be here?

- andai 2y agoI like to use a metaphor. You're at a party. You politely say goodbye to everyone and start heading for the exit. You are restrained and drugged. Nice party, bro...

- dghlsakjg 2y agoI live in Canada. I also have google. You are referring to an incident where a caseworker mentioned that MAID is an option to a permanently disabled veteran suffering from pain, and it was deemed out of scope for their job. The policy has now changed so that caseworkers are not allowed to even bring up MAID. No one was coerced into the option. The outcome of the incident you are citing is that it is now less accessible for people to learn about the option. Meanwhile there are cases across Canada where people have been blocked from getting MAID because of religious hospitals, outside objectors, and debates about what kind of permanent illness qualifies even if two doctors and the patient have all agreed. The process is not fast, requires psychological assessment, and must be signed off by a doctor. There is precisely no evidence that anyone has ever undergone MAID when they weren’t 100% consenting and having made there own decision.
