This is wild. How can they differentiate between grief and actual clear thinking desire?
- paulcole 2y ago> How can they differentiate between grief and actual clear thinking desire Personally I don’t think they should. Only I know what’s in my head. I think my rules would be: 1. Terminal diagnosis at any age - No questions asked. 2. Over 70 - No questions asked — just request MAID and get it. 3. Over 50 but under 70 - Have to request MAID 2 times, separated by 1 month waiting period. Waiting period resets after a year. 4. Under 50 - Have to request MAID 3 times, each separated by 1 month waiting period. Waiting period resets after 6 months. I’d also be in favor of no questions asked at all in any situation.

- BeefWellington 2y agoThis is actually not possible per the requirements set out in the legislation; I suspect the poster didn't get the full picture. It's always possible an individual doctor can ignore the system and do whatever but I doubt it when there's a legal path for this spelled out. Grief on its own isn't sufficient for assisted dying.
- supportengineer 2y ago>> Grief on its own isn't sufficient for assisted dying Who are you to make that call?
- BeefWellington 2y agoI don't make any calls related to assisted dying; I'm referring to what the law states.
