During his hospital stay, the Quebec man developed a major pressure sore on his buttocks. In late March, he received medical assistance in dying to put an end to his suffering.
isn’t this like the third time something like this as either happened or was suggest to someone? like “sorry we can’t help you, hey…have you thought about dying as an option?”
The one that pops to mind was that military veteran that was asked if she had considered taking MAID for some issue and thankfully she out right refused.
Either things like this are going to become more common due to our severe lack of funding for healthcare and mental healthcare OR they do away with MAID completely and then…people take matters into their own hands. Regardless it’s going to get worse. Wouldn’t surprise me if people start applying to MAID simply because they can’t afford rent. wouldn’t surprise me if people have already tried that.
