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.

    We've already cleared at least two cases for MAID, not because the health issues made life unbearable for the individuals, but the poverty induced from the ongoing health issues. This shouldn't be surprising but I know damn well it's still going to gob smack me when someone sitting across the dinner table at a family function tries to rationalize it.

      Stare them down and call it social murder, ask them if they would feel safe being a pensioner and having the choice of rotting or getting a lethal injection like some poor bastard on death row (tbh don't have to do it but at this moment I don't care about ripping into people trying to consent to murder by capital and the state and making dinner awkward).

        That's where the gob smack sets in, because the ones that I'm picturing that are most likely to rationalize it are pensioners.
