    I agree the Canadian system is extremely disgusting, and that is not what I’m advocating for here at all.

    And while I don’t want to demean you, but depression is not a terminal illness and should not qualify for euthanasia. There are treatments that work, and meaningful ways to make change. Someone with terminal AIDS, cancer, or someone simply at the end of their lives doesn’t have those options.

      Just going to assume this is a typo and you meant to say “should not qualify for euthanasia”

      Yea, mental illness shouldn’t qualify, but that doesn’t stop the government from wanting to expand maid to include it

      Please read the section on eligibility of people suffering solely from mental illness and get back to me thx. This is what people mean when they say MAID is going to be applied to people that it in no way should be.

        My bad, meant “should not”, thanks for catching that.

        But again, why do you think that I for some reason love MAID. How is that at all relevant to the conversation. Why do you think MAID defines the euthanasia advocacy argument? Most advocates were disgusted when Canada rolled it out.

        Again, you’re moving the conversation.
