Thank-you very much. I’m sick of how MAID has been misrepresented as some sort of ill-intentioned plan to rid our society of er, the « unwanted ». Do you sometimes feel there’s a hint of projection there? I know anecdotal stories don’t carry much weight statistically, but after being denied palliative care, my husband begged to be granted a peaceful death. He didn’t qualify for MAID. Anti-MAID people will be gratified to know he died a horrible death shortly after, as I’m sure they believe their god ordained. I want to control my own demise and I’ll fight to make that decision on my own behalf. You don’t want assisted death? Then don’t choose it! But let me (and the sane people I know) have our choice.

Meanwhile you ignore the 16 year olds opting for suicide for mental health problems.
