Assisted suicide is good for society and if legalised would help fix my countries broken healthcare system
In Canada they have MAID program and it appears to just be used as an excuse not to help people. Curious your thoughts on this? https://beta.ctvnews.ca/national/politics/2022/12/2/1_6179325.amp.html
I used to be all for this program but I don't think it was implemented with good intentions. Instead of fixing the country they are just telling us to kill ourselves. They know that anyone who kills themselves is just going to be replaced by 10 immigrants anyway
This sounds like it's more of an issue with Veterans Affairs Canada being inappropriate and unhelpful. It's not an issues with the MAID program.
