Like a year or two ago a guy made the news for signing up to die because he had Pooritis and people crowdfunded like fifty grand or whatever. And he was like yeah I won't let Trudeau kill me for now but this doesn't actually solve anything but the news just played it as a happy ending lol

it's fine if people kill themselves. but if they do it with a gun or jumping off a building or something it's really dirty and people might have to see a dead body or something. That's why I support Nazi Canada

America could never implement a program like that because it would involve government investment in healthcare.

imo a neoliberal state that was smart would legalize euthanasia but tie the process up in so much red tape and bureaucracy that everyone applying for it eventually just does it themselves, thus rendering any kind of culpability of the state totally void. ez pz

That came up in here and I remember a couple of the hosed up guys we have calling me a chud for thinking it was hosed up and for not being supportive of expanding state assisted suicide for any reason.

One of the canada mods swooped in to also affirm that assisted suicide should be available to everyone regardless of reason.

the thing is, I don't think the underlying belief is unreasonable. I understand solely thinking about this in terms of Bodily Autonomy, it doesn't surprise me that people feel that way - but it's still a complete failure to consider the ways that this particular policy would intersect with Capitalist considerations.

Yes. There are a lot of "leftists" who really bang the drums for social issues like this, immigration, or schooling but don't understand those good intentions are paving the road to hell.

You couldn't grok my race car, but you dug the roadside blur.
MAID exists in the US. A quality pistol costs less than an initial psychiatrist appointment. You have the right to either use it on yourself or present it to a police officer who will use his on you.




That’s real world data too, not conjecture or rhetoric. I was quoted 500 and they wouldn’t take my insurance despite the insurance referring me.

It is also the policy of the thread that you not kill yourself.

quote:

But W.V. believes his daughter "is vulnerable and is not competent to make the decision to take her own life," according to Feasby's summary of the father's position.

"He says that she is generally healthy and believes that her physical symptoms, to the extent that she has any, result from undiagnosed psychological conditions."

Her only known diagnoses described in court earlier this month are autism and ADHD.

well....i guess thanks canada for proving that humanity can't trusted with MAiD i suppose?
