How many of them are white? I wonder if minorities get the same pitch to take one for the team?
You know, the older I get the more I empathize with God's "cranky" OT phase where He was constantly punishing evil nations.

Are you truly that unempathetic or are you just that fricking stupid? What quality of life is there? What's the purpose for keeping someone in a state like that going? So you can stroke your own hubris a bit more? Because you're too much of a pussy to make the tough call?
Go frick yourself.

I don't know the laws pertaining to euthanizing humans in Canada, but I've seen many pts where I've said "it's a shame, we can put our pets down when they're suffering, but not our family..."
I think the fear is there is government "encouragement" for people who have mental/cognitive problems or temporary quality of life issues to end their life.

Maybe the part where he doesn't want to die. This is more of a financial decision.

FIFY.

And yet the majority of people that support this are anti-death penalty. Pro abortion, pro euthanasia, anti death penalty. Makes no sense.

Also, medical care is a waiting game up there.
Its only a waiting game for the free government provided care. You can get private healthcare if you choose.
I understand the "free healthcare" in canada is a BS racket and offering MAID as much as they do is ridiculous.
But at the same time, is harboring the amount of people the USA does under welfare and Medicaid the perfect solution? Hell no. To some degree I really don't have an issue with offering MAID as a solution if you can't afford a better option on your own. Welfare is out of control.

I don't know a middle ground that would work best.
The problem, like in Canada, is when the government controls both the healthcare resources AND assists the miserable in suicide. When healthcare can take months to obtain, but government assisted suicide is immediate. That is not a good way for society to work.

Pragmatic... but the *reason* healthcare is unaffordable is because of government bullshite. It's a sick society that screws up the system, prices you out of care then offers you a cheap and easy exit.

I don't think we'd be surprised at the demographics, this is turbo replacement theory in action.
Grok according to the latest published data in 2024: 95.6% were Caucasian

Their medical system is so broken that they're doing the only other thing they can do, and that is reducing the number of people who need care.

I would speculate, that of those without terminal illness, most are leftist loonies, so I'm not sure I care.

That always confuses me, too... seems backwards as all hell.
Canada has no death penalty but also no limits on abortion and an increasingly unlimited suicide assistance. Bizarre.

If we're talking Stage 4 terminal cancer or ALS something a person can't survive and they want to avoid end stage suffering and pain, I'm with you. But a young 20 something who is suffering depression and wants to check out - Canada is gladly killing them, too. That I don't support. And frankly, I don't think this should ever, EVER, be a function of government. Allow doctors to prescribe pills to their terminally ill patients but any government involvement beyond allowing doctors and patients to decide is a very scary slippery slope.

I can absolutely agree with that. Creating the problem of poor healthcare then helping your citizens off themselves because of your shortcomings is a ridiculous system.
The issue of the guy in the video, I see that as more about housing as the reason he's facing poverty as the place he has been living was sold. That said, maybe the Canadian government could consider alternatives first (like helping him find an affordable place) as some sort of middle ground?

You don't have to do it though. We are suggesting the government is forcing them, they aren't. The government is offering it as a solution.
I guess I'm just dark and overly pragmatic here, but the purpose of government is to offer solutions to improve the bare needs of society. You are a consumer (drain) on society because you aren't able to be a net producer than I'm not sure its the worst idea ever to offer an end of life solution. If you were to play devil's advocate, why keep someone alive that's just a consuming expense? Just because we are liberal and it feels bad?

Killing yourself has always been an option. Getting government involved is nothing but a way to force a lessened burden on their idiotic Healthcare system.

I only know a little about it, but apparently the housing situation in Canada is really, really dire. Between high density migration and a bureaucracy that would make California blush, they have it bad with housing. What's funny is I tried doing a quick google on it, and it admits the housing is fricked but Canada is still superior due to its universal healthcare system.
It really does highlight the slippery slope of programs like MAiD, though... what was surely intended for compassionate end of life options for the terminally ill has now morphed into an alternative to "housing" program. And quickly, too.

We are humans. Not interchangeable cogs in the tax revenue system.

Don’t know if that is a bad thing after all.
