The government as a body is telling people that they're willing to assist them to death because they don't have enough money to live with dignity. That is a pretty clear signal to me that, unless you are able-bodied enough or able-minded enough to work to produce profit, then you don't have any place here.
This really hits home, this is something I've thought about often. If my health keeps going, and it's just too much of a struggle, I'd liquidate my life and just end it as painlessly as possible.
Being hospitalized was so difficult, and I had my mother to help me. Alone, I don't know if I could do it. The financial strain. The stress. The loneliness. The support systems are just not in place. You need money.
I saw some tweets pass about folks being denied help from disability programs, but being approved for medically assisted suicide. What message does that send?
People with Disabilities are choosing to die through Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) because they can't access the money they need to live.

Does that sound like a society that is fair to you?
right now in canada there are human beings having to choose medical assistance in dying because they cannot afford to live. they cannot afford rent. they cannot afford medications. they cannot afford food. the pathologies of poverty are killing people. what about this is just?
