With doctors divided and federal guidelines still in development, Canadians have questions about who will qualify for MAID next year – and whether it’s a good idea to give the most vulnerable an easier way to die

Any and all individuals within the medical industry that profit from this coming horror show deserve the wood chipper. Also I love how capitalism gave us fucking death panels, give it twenty years and we will have Futurama esque suicide booths.

    I guess it makes sense to theoretically support MAID. Everyone should have a choice, and there are some conditions that just won’t get better. But it also seems abjectly wrong to support it in a capitalist country. How much of one’s pain could be lessened if there was a state set up to actually support its citizens? Would it be enough to be below the threshold of using MAID?

      That's pretty much it, MAID is more or less allowing people suffering from capitalism and not being given resources that would allow them to continue living (literally just basic as housing and food). There are people in extreme pain due to medical conditions that are not treatable and even with palliative care does not promote true quality of life and the usage of Maid should be available, but this is sadly just allowing the state to perform eugenics without taking direct blame.
