The governments of Manitoba and Saskatchewan say they are concerned about the potential risks of allowing Canadians to seek medical assistance in dying solely on the basis of a mental illness.
Perhaps they don’t know anyone who’s struggled through a lifetime of mental illness that no doctor or medication can help with. Worse, they get no assistance from the government, so they are left struggling to support themselves for decades.
If you can’t help them live, at least help them die. Unending suffering isn’t a way to live.
