There was a scandal yesterday when a disabled veteran testified that she was trying to get a wheelchair and instead the (American VA-equivalent, I think?) person she was dealing with suggested MAiD instead.

Arsenic Lupin posted:There was a scandal yesterday when a disabled veteran testified that she was trying to get a wheelchair and instead the (American VA-equivalent, I think?) person she was dealing with suggested MAiD instead. A major current in this specifically for veterans is that more Canadians have died of suicide since the war than died in Afghanistan. This was a major embarrassment to the government but they had no intention of actually doing or fixing anything, so they put out this narrative that the tragedy was that the suicides were done the wrong way, if that makes sense, and so the good, humane, enlightened thing was to provide MAID. You see? Suicide is déclassé, "self medication", whereas MAID prioritizes patient autonomy and relief of suffering. Those patients weren't crying out for help, they were crying out for death, and simply needed access to affordable suicide. It's coming from a place that they've already chosen to die by virtue of being suicidal, and so the right thing to do is to respect their autonomy and relieve them of their suffering the right way. I don't know how to really explain this kind of moral posturing to people who haven't run into Canadian liberals, but they have truly taken the stance that this makes them better than Americans. It's why it's basically impossible to argue with them.

I mean, yeah? gently caress it, the systems involved aren't going to be fixed any time soon, and forcing people to stay alive to own some abstract institution is inhumane. Better to go out under medical observation than loving up an attempt and being simultaneously stripped of your rights for your "own protection", incurring medical debt for the resurrection, and potentially being incapacitated or in a great deal of pain as a result of a foiled attempt.

What's wild to me is that 20-30 years ago the debate about legalizing medically assisted suicide was full of disingenuous "If it's legal medical systems will just coerce unprofitable patients to kill themselves instead of receiving costly treatment." They didn't genuinely believe that, they just knew "It's against my religious beliefs" was a weak argument. Now here we are and the Canadian VA is suggesting death as an alternative to wheelchair accessible housing they'd be on the hook for.

Yeah but the people pushing MAID here should just provide proper care so people don't kill themselves.

They didn't genuinely believe that, they just knew "It's against my religious beliefs" was a weak argument. Hear me out, maybe it’s against their religion because their religion instills a set of values prohibiting coercing patients to kill themselves. We’re used to people disingenuously, cynically and hypocritically misusing their professed faith, but the principles exist for a reason and on an essential level it is to prevent this. In the American context, all we see is it being used to enforce social conservatism while compromising with Mammon at every turn. The same belief that demands a confrontation with coerced state murder also requires tearing down the class structures and profit motives entwined with that, and no right wing Christian will go that far. That’s the tragedy of it. All of that to say, I can see how this outcome is wholly consistent with the belief, but when’s the last time we saw consistency from the religious right?

CanLibs can be annoying but then there are the CanCons and I mean, we all saw the “Trucker Protest” last year (and I guess they are getting ready for around 2?). The real money is being an NDP voter and being equally despised by both Libs and Cons for wanting dental, daycare, and higher taxes for the rich.
