Love to be told about voluntary transactions under neoliberalism from "maidthrowaway". Fuck off.
I'm a longstanding user of the site, since it was chapo.chat, but felt uncomfortable posting this on my main account for exactly this reason. I'm not saying that neoliberalism is all about voluntary transactions or some bullshit, but that it's disingenuous to say that answering yes to a question asking if people should be allowed to choose to die is the same as saying yes to forcing them to die.
I think the issues with Canada's MAID system are not issues with the laws themselves, given that several other countries have the same sorts of MAID laws but don't have the same problem with doctors suggesting it to people or people choosing it because they can't get their ghoul landlord to put in a wheelchair ramp.
"The laws themselves" in a vacuum don't matter almost ever, there is only the circumstance in which they are applied.
MAiD in contemporary Canada is eugenics and social murder.
