Assisted dying now accounts for one in 20 Canada deaths.

I have my own thoughts (mostly religious/ethical) about this, but I can see where/how it could be popular.

Article at the link.

Do they still allow for assisted death for financial reasons? For traumatic events? Unpaid parking tickets? Unpaid credit card bills? Standing up for yourself?

I don't have a problem with people who want to die as a mercy from extreme physical pain. I do have issues with edge cases and with the conflict of interests.

A doctor who's job is to keep you alive should not have the option to recommend euthanasia. Worse yet, a government bureaucrat should not be offering euthanasia to people just to reduce their caseload. IMO there should be a separate medical specialty in both assessing and administering euthanasia.

Of course, the American version of this is...

If you can't cure 'em, bankrupt 'em (so they can then die by the side of the road).

Strange... I haven't seen the gutters and sidewalks littered with bankrupt dead people. (Those deaths are mostly in the city, and are usually caused by overdoses or "gunshot-by-gang-banger". (But we're fixing that. Maybe you missed it.)
In reality, everyone I know is doing fine. Sorry. I'm sure that's probably a disappointment to you.

And the Canadian version is... "since we can't afford your healthcare, here's a MAID approval."

Raydar, is this victim mentality a recent manifestation... or have you been suffering from it it all along?

And you've got documented confirmation that this is a problematic course of events up here... or is this your latest fabrication? (It's a rhetorical question Todd, I already know the answer.)

Victim mentality? Suffering? Hardly.
Just seems that your narrative is that "poor people are dying in the streets". There's your "victim mentality".

Remember this?

Your words.

If that were true, it would back up your illogical claims.

Nice try. (Not really. )

What would you call it then when "everyone you know is doing fine", and that this would somehow be a "disappointment" to me? You're the one playing the "victim" of my supposed nasty thoughts/wishes. As much as I believe MAGA zealots are misinformed, some more than others, I feel no ill will towards anyone here.

What about it?

I explained why you appear to have a "victim mentality", as in you appear to believe I wish you and yours ill will. I don't. Nor do I feel a bit of satisfaction every time someone who disagrees with me gets offed. That's probably one of the most disgusting things anyone has ever said to anyone else on this forum... but hey, I see who you look up to. "Y'all are like that."

I wonder how the Democrat advertisement about pushing a wheelchair-bound grandmother off a cliff is aging, now that the ACA has been proven to be unaffordable without massive government subsidies?

COVID is long past, but we still need the emergency subsidies to make it affordable?

The smug satisfaction and "I told you so" hateful comments whenever something bad happens to a conservative seem to be a hallmark of the lefties. I see it every day, from any number of people.
If I'm wrong about you, please feel free to show me. Don't just say it and expect me - and everyone else here - to believe it.

NY just had this signed into law by hochul, there is a list of things that the "patient" need to accomplish before they are allowed to obtain the drug to "suicide" themselves. I have no problem with this, people have been committing suicide since the dawn of ages when they feel they feel there is no more hope. Maybe open up to those individuals who feel the world is going to end in 6 months and they don't want to be around to see the end. A new way to control population growth.

There are 26 years worth my posts here at PFF. I've never stated anything ever that warrants that disgusting comment from you.

The ACA was NEVER meant to be in any way affordable.
It was purposely designed to be the exact opposite.
The plan was to make it such a disaster that it would create a massive outcry for "single payer" health insurance, which still remains an important Leftie/ Marxist goal.
A typical Leftist trick to attempt to get what they cannot get at the ballot box by instead using subterfuge and lies.

But I do thank-you for posting the following. It's advantageous to know how particular members of this forum "think"... as twisted and odious as it unfortunately turned out to be this time around.

Raydar, believe me, you have no impact on my "feewings". I will admit that I am a bit disappointed that you've turned out to be such an azz... but hey, considering the POS you support, I probably shouldn't be surprised.
