Comment on Me an' Algernon – grappling with (temporary) cognitive declineparent

It's not entirely binary, but there is an obvious unpleasant tendency in e.g. Canada, to soft-push MAID onto potentially treatable patients who don't even seek medically assisted death.

I wouldn't want my government to have an option of dealing with the problem this way, and if I needed MAID, I'd just self-administer.

Yes, it's a slippery slope once a state providing assistant to suicide is law imho.

It just doesnt seem something a state should be charged with.
