"Despite all the articles and arguments about MAiD, public debate seems to avoid the core assumptions at the centre of the issue. MAiD discussions rest on a particular vision of what it means to be human." macdonaldlaurier.ca/more-tha…

"To trust the state to operate a service that kills people including disabled people who are not dying, all you have to do is believe, in spite of an abundance of evidence to the contrary that an error-proof and abuse-proof government program is possible."

“Cdn law is unique. It gives doctors almost free reign on what to do if someone has a diagnosis and they’re miserable with it," "Then you marry it to a very-well organized delivery system . It gives the medical system and sociopolitical system an out when you abandon people.”

No province and the majority of Canadians have ever wanted or asked for this, get it off the books forever. The time and resources wasted, and anguish caused by the pro-MAiD lobbyists/parliamentarians is staggering. They should be held accountable.

Euthanasia flattens our understanding of quality of life. Life always has quality. The opportunity to show tenderness, the ability to accompany our loved ones, and the occasion to practice courage in face of illness and suffering nurture our humanity.

Majority of Indigenous Peoples have told the government/pro-MAID expansionists, that euthanizing community members with disabilities/mental illness who want support to live, not to die, is neither culturally safe nor trauma-informed. It never will be, so please, write that down.
