Maid was never about killing people to free space. Maid was intended for people who's injury / illness has condemned them to suffering every moment for the rest of their natural life, it is an optional way out for people who have zero quality of life with the expectation that it will never get better.
I will never expect someone to use Maid, but I will never criticize so.eone who does.
As someone whose grandparents suffered a lot their last days on earth, I would (for me, not them).
Specially if I turn out to have Alzheimer's like one of them. I want to die with as many of my memories as I can; and not let future me live in constant confusion and fear; not knowing where he is or who are all the people around him.
I understand why other people wouldn't. But if I can have the choice; I would be seriously inclined to do it.
It may not have been intended for such, but we are seeing many cases of hospitals outright encouraging people to use maid, peopole are told they're selfish for not choosing euthanasia, TV Commericials and Youtube Ads advocating for suicide and trying to make it seem glamorous and romantic, and most heartbreaking people who choose it simply because Canada has forced them into poverty with no way out.
As some one also in a country (America, Land of the Free for those who can afford it) that forced me into poverty with no way out, and who struggles with mental illness... it keeps me up at night sometimes.
I got people in medical fields doing everything they can for me, multiple people, because there is a nice municipal healthcare system in place where I live.
Would I still be alive if I were Canadian? Would the people who stopped me from killing myself be the ones to pull the proverbial trigger if I lived up North?
So uh, i'm actually mates with Jonathan Marchand.
maid is absolutely being used in soft pressure against the disabled community
