Story Lucky Canadians. MAID is finally happening

[Cute_&_Loving]

I guess it's happening soon.
I can only envy.

She's 47, anorexic and wants help dying. Canada will soon allow it

Lisa Pauli wants to die. The 47-year-old has wrestled with the eating disorder anorexia for decades; she says she has had a warped relationship with her body since age 8. These days, Pauli says, she weighs 92 pounds and may go days without eating solid food.

If people are able to die in such a way then I also envy them so much, it's not even legalised at all where I live which just shows a lack of compassion towards the suffering that people go through. Having the option to leave this world in a guaranteed and peaceful way would be such a relief.

Ah wow. I would love this more than anything. I am sure I would be eligible with all my issues if this happened in the UK. We are such a backward dump here.
I have no time for the disability rights campaigners. Disabled people aren't really getting the care they want anyway and for many all the care in the world won't make life worth living. Many carers are vile abusive arseholes and all the carers in the world would not help my suffering tbh.

it's not happening yet. starting next march 2024 you can start the application process which will be lengthy and evaluated by multiple ppl in medical field. it will be min. 8months-1yr for a decision although can take longer to decide.

Do you have to be a Canadian?

 

[just_so_done]

The mere fact that real societies are having genuine debates and not just leaving people in chronic pain to suffer in silence feels like a utopian step forward.

It feels like a bit of a game-changer to realise that the world does not consist exclusively of 'normies' who are strictly opposed to voluntary dying under any circumstances. It feels like a massive validation in its own right.

I have no time for the disability rights campaigners.

I agree that their 'access to care' argument is very dubious. Many suicidal people could be kept alive indefinitely, and even potentially 'saved' if a blank cheque were written. I think I could easily spend $100k accessing overseas therapies and healing modalities which may or may not yield meaningful change. But meanwhile, back in reality, I would be told to stop being entitled, shut up and resume my crappy manual labour job so I can continue existing in humiliation and isolation.

Yet they took down IC lol, you can only die if they say so and they profit

Sounds nice but it will be very difficult to obtain peace through that. They wont put it easy they will make every way possible to deny it.

Well, it's a start. With applying. And 2024 is just around the corner

True, true….. but governments need their slaves so…..

Time will tell….. hopefully they'll be more merciful than the most countries….
