weirdwallace75,

Huh. In the UK, they just put them on waiting lists until they die.

This seems reasonable. Lucid only, there’s a big talk about it, gernerally seems in-line with how other countries handle it. If you were slowly dying of rabies, prions, ebola, rat-lungworm, or other terrible maladies/injuries, I could see this being beneficial.

Smoogs,

This is already in place in Canada. They want to take it further and just off the people who inconvenience the upper class but without getting their hands dirty doing it themselves. Just want the ‘unwashed to go away’

When you really consider it, anyone with an addiction can easily commit suicide. It’s not exactly something they need ‘help’ with if that was a conscious intent. So a law to allow this is a misnomer and a bit on the nose of what it really is about: class war.

ZenkorSoraz,

Fuck Canada

Immersive_Matthew,

This seems very odd when the data indicates we are entering a period of breakthrough medical discoveries thanks to AI. I suspect addition will be something we will be able to address sooner than later. Seems unnecessary too given how many deaths are already happening thanks to fentanyl. So very odd.

greenmarty,

What? Why not legalize their forced detox and give them another chance at life? Guess make them sleep is easier at budget or something ??

ZenkorSoraz,

This is Burgsys type shit TNO can’t make this up

Colorcodedresistor,

The problem with this is once the addicts go, who is next. The impoverished have been mentioned already. so it’ll go Homeless, Addicts, Poor, Working, Independently wealthy, rich oh shit wai-

Although, with my current set of illnesses; Crohn’s and auto immune liver failure. i’ve already decided to go out like Deiter Dengler. man thought about who would have the tools and capacity to clean up his mess real quick. respect. Police don’t clean crime scenes. You have to do it or call a service. id rather not traumatize someone having to pickup my brain matter. so…Fire Station or in a self dug 6ft hole with a .45 for lunch break.

MAID service seems nice, i guess. or you could get some styrofoam to make a helmet and wire up some 12 gauge rounds along the inserts and tap the leads to a 9v battery.

what’s the cost of MAID?

SiliconDon,

California and Canada have similar populations and both allow medically assisted suicide. Canada last year performed this on 20x more people. It’s well documented that many would prefer treatment to death but it isn’t provided as an option due to cost. This is eugenics

Agreed. Medically-assisted suicide cannot be offered to anyone who doesn't have all of the health care they need without bankrupting themselves. Therefore I don't think it's ethical to ever offer it in a country where health care is a financial transaction for the patient.

Otherwise the government might as well be handing the patient a huge bill in the left hand and a gun in the right.

Smoogs,

This is completely bullshit about what it really is about. Anyone with an addiction can easily commit suicide. It’s not exactly something they need ‘help’ with to do. Passing a law about just allowing that seems suspect. Suspect in that I don’t think it’s about ‘allowing’ but more ‘encouraging’ or just not injecting someone ODing for the umpteenth time with naxolone and not facing any legal consequences with corrupt/inept lawyers. They should just come out and fuckin say it. It’s a class war. Nothing to do with empathy.

Luisp,

Canada, can you stop doing eugenesics for 5 seconds?

Portosian,

I’d be worried that this will be used as a screen to kill “undesirables” without scrutiny.

Jaytreeman,

Most of the homeless I see are tweaking.
It seems like they're solving the housing crisis in the most dystopian way possible

pimento64,

It’s already happening, and the eugenics apologists have been falling all over themselves to say “OH UHHH THOSE WERE JUST DOZENS OF ISOLATED INCIDENTS PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE FASCISTS BEHIND THE CURTAIN”
