This thing turned into exactly the horror its critics were worried it would. Their concerns were so confidently dismissed from all sides, it was so easy to paint them as naive idealists or hardhearted religious weirdos or anything. They were right and now canada is at the forefront of a modern eugenics movement.

- judahmeek 2y agoWhy is assisted suicide programs the horror rather than the systemic effects that lead people with no terminal conditions to prefer death to possible living conditions? Without assisted suicide being requested, those people will just be overlooked & ignored. Instead of removing assisted suicide programs, we should consider them to be a societal feedback system regarding society's greatest failures.
- giraffe_lady 2y agoIt's not "rather than" and there are plenty of signals other than the deaths of disabled people.
- judahmeek 2y agoLike I said, those signals seem to be a lot easier to ignore.
