Literally one anecdote. Concerning? Yes. Indicative of the whole program. Absolutely not.

Also, as per the article: "Canada’s MAID law requires two medical practitioners to agree that the person has a serious disease or disability causing unbearable physical or psychological suffering and is in an advanced and irreversible state of decline."

Another qualified doctor would still need to conduct their own lines of inquiry and come to the determination of eligibility for MAID.

Let me guess, next your going to say that they don't want to expand maid to minors....

I gotta say, the supporters of maid really must only look at the official talking points.

He's edited his comment at least twice since my reply. And I actually work with those that work within the program, so I know about more than talking points. And I'm also done talking about it on the gun sub.
