Canada allow people only with mental illnesses and addictions to seek out MAID?

Because you believe bullshit, that isn’t true in the slightest? Currently, ONLY people who are terminally ill or suffering are allowed.

And how do you know for sure that this isn’t going to expand as a cost-cutting measure throughout any healthcare system that enables it?

I don’t. Healthcare professionals wouldn’t agree to that, but medical science can’t prevent a fascist government from using anything to murder undesirables. In fact I expect oligarchs around the world to commit genocide en masse due to climate change and mass automation/unemployment.

Euthanasia is voluntary. The moment it’s no longer voluntary it becomes murder/genocide. What you’re worried about is murder/genocide. Not euthanasia. You’re worried about the wrong thing.

I was mistaken in that it was currently available. However, they’re planning on making it available for solely mental conditions in the future and have been pushing the eligibility date back for a few years. The fact remains they think this is a good idea and want to do it.

Healthcare professionals wouldn’t agree to that


They’re already agreeing to killing their patients to begin with. Healthcare decisions are made based on cost constantly. The door is open, anything is possible now. And not only that, but there have been plenty of unethical medical practices in history that are no longer done, like the lobotomy.
