If that’s the case, then why does Canada allow people only with mental illnesses and addictions to seek out MAID? 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?
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.

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.
I was mistaken in my previous posts. I wasn’t aware that the effective date of MAID for mentally ill people had been pushed out again. But the fact remains it’s in the plans and it’s very likely to become a reality; if they didn’t want to do it, they would have revoked it entirely.
They’re talking about expanding it to allow terminally ill people with mental illnesses to access maid, not saying that you must be mentally ill to receive it.
MAID is also for people who live, by some measure, intolerably painful lives for which there isn’t a treatment IIRC. Many mental disorders could be classified as such and make someone eligible for MAID. This will disincentivize people from trying to treat these disorders and instead “end people’s suffering” in a much darker way.

It is genocide.

What are you talking about? The only people allowed to get any kind of assisted suicide are people who are terminally ill, like people with cancer.
