Yes because a dignified death when you are at the end of your life is such a bad thing.

Fuck you and your bloodline.

For anyone coming across this post:

• 'state-administered death' is an intentionally misleading. There is legitimate discussion happening about this issue and the surrounding nuances, but this post makes it harder to talk about those issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_and_assisted_suicide_in_Canada
• It compares all of Canada's MAID deaths in 2024 (16,499) to only firearm homicides in the US. If you include gun related suicides in the US (27,593 in 2024), the total number of gun related deaths in the US climbs to 44,447 (source). For those who want to be more informed, here are the actual statistics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_and_assisted_suicide_in_Canada#Statistics
• Meanwhile MAID deaths are generally those with serious medical conditions and are primarily those where the person had a reasonably foreseeable natural death. It takes time for approvals to happen, and the expansion to "grievous and irremediable condition[s]" happened in 2021. Mental illness is not currently included, and that is where a lot of the discussion is happening.

I'm seeing a few reports on this post about it being disinformation. I'm currently leaning towards letting the community mods decide how to handle this, since I think it's helpful for people to see the explanation for why this post is misleading given that our elected officials have also used this talking point.

2024:

Canada assisted deaths: 16,500
US gun deaths : 44,447

Your math sucks, probably US educated in a red state, unfortunately.

Yeah this is total bullshit.

Ahh another person who's only ever posted links to nypost. Get bent.

Stats for this?

OP is a notorious MAGA mouthbreather and shit-tier troll. Deserves a downvote, tag and/or block.

I for one am happy there is MAID. I am almost 70. I have myofascial pain (depending on the doctor they also call it fibromyalgia and other names) pretty much everywhere. I have a pinched nerve in my back as well as arthritis in many of my joints. It’s been 10 years that I have endured this. When it gets too much I will be able to end it without having to try myself and most likely epically fucking it all up.

Edit to to too

Sounds like a good thing to me.
