5th leading cause of death btw
An_Draoidh_Uaine@reddit
I'd imagine it would be when your choice is between dying from the ravages of whatever terminal illness you have and going out on your own terms.
The-Only-Razor@reddit
You don't need a terminal illness. I know someone who was depressed and got approved for MAID back in 2023.
LegOfLamb89@reddit
No you didn't
The-Only-Razor@reddit
Yes, I did. She applied in late 2022 and died in March 2023.
Whether you believe me or not is irrelevant because you don't matter.
JustChillin3456@reddit
It’s funny how there’s so much evidence this happens and he’s insisting it doesn’t
Like why ? What does he gain by lying ?
rayquan36@reddit
Redditor. If it made America look bad they'd believe it.
The-Only-Razor@reddit
And it's literally the 5th leading cause of death in Canada, yet somehow any story about it happening to someone is fake.
JustChillin3456@reddit
He’s not the only one to be fair
ANYTIME I bring it up people rush to defend it / justify it and will Insult you for pointing out any ways it could used to unnecessarily/ prematurely end a life
peppermintaltiod@reddit
Or when you're a paralympian that wants a wheelchair ramp.
LambOfGodnmbr104@reddit
This is not an issue with MAID though?
"cases of Canadian military veterans being given the MAID option by a now-suspended veterans service agent have been referred to the RCMP."
JustChillin3456@reddit
Except many of the people who seek the treatment are addicts who are offered the “care” when they are most vulnerable
An_Draoidh_Uaine@reddit
JustChillin3456@reddit
I can’t post links but some dude told the story of how his girlfriend was brought to the hospital for an OD and when he hadn’t heard from her for a week he went to check on her only to be told she was given MAID
And you could say “well that’s very rare it hardly ever happens”
But it shouldn’t even be a possibility
petertompolicy@reddit
That's not a possibility.
There is a 90 day minimum wait for people that aren't imminently dying.
You're friend is lying or you are.
JustChillin3456@reddit
It depends if death is foreseeable in the future. If it is then you can get it in the matter of days
Meaning it’s entirely arbitrary if you can seek immediate death
petertompolicy@reddit
No, you have to be about to die, go read what it says.
You're wrong and should do more research.
You're all over this thread and not a single thing you've said is correct and just takes some basic fact checking to see that.
JustChillin3456@reddit
“eligibility for MAID is expected to expand on March 17, 2027 to include some people whose only underlying medical condition is a mental illness, unless Parliament changes the law again before then.”
LegOfLamb89@reddit
Only if your death is gonna happen really soon do they wave the 10 day reflection period. If it's not foreseeable there's a 90 day wait before reassement
JustChillin3456@reddit
And your thoughts on this ?
“eligibility for MAID is expected to expand on March 17, 2027 to include some people whose only underlying medical condition is a mental illness, unless Parliament changes the law again before then.”
CelDidNothingWrong@reddit
Bruh, why are you just straight up lying?
JustChillin3456@reddit
Ive seen the video, by all means call the dude who shared the story the liar not me
LegOfLamb89@reddit
That's a lie
JustChillin3456@reddit
You admit it’s a possibility you just disagree about the time frame
basilisk_boi2@reddit
Tbf Some dork got approved for MAID because of “seasonal depression”
petertompolicy@reddit
You definitely don't because that isn't a thing.
Sh00pty_W00pty@reddit
seasonal affective disorder is a real condition, its just more of a subcondition of depression
petertompolicy@reddit
And it absolutely is not going to be eligible for MAID which has requires that your condition is unlikely to improve since season affective improves by definition as the seasons change.
rayquan36@reddit
Wow this is actually true
petertompolicy@reddit
Which is great, people who need it are getting help instead of going through years of agony against their own wishes.
JustChillin3456@reddit
Addicts who get MAID are NOT getting what they need
petertompolicy@reddit
Having an addiction isn't enough to qualify for MAID, so that's not a problem.
JustChillin3456@reddit
It will be in 1 year
“ eligibility for MAID is expected to expand on March 17, 2027 to include some people whose only underlying medical condition is a mental illness, unless Parliament changes the law again before then.”
LegOfLamb89@reddit
Addicts don't qualify quit your bullshit
JustChillin3456@reddit
I just checked , as of now you need addiction AND chronic disease associated with it to qualify for MAID
But “eligibility for MAID is expected to expand on March 17, 2027 to include some people whose only underlying medical condition is a mental illness, unless Parliament changes the law again before then.”
Is that something you’re ok with ?
Electronic_Cut2562@reddit
Terminally ill people (most people eventually) do be like that. You should go talk some sense into them. Die in a puddle of piss and shit like a man!
JustChillin3456@reddit
Except it’s not just terminal it includes people who can be helped like addicts
LegOfLamb89@reddit
Incorrect. Any mental illness/substance use disorder as the sole condition is not eligible for maid. Quit your bullshjt
hoangsh12@reddit
Can someone explain this for me? I have been looking at it for a solid minute and slowly loosing my mind trying to understand it.
AdamofSnakes@reddit
Canada legalised euthanasia.
But it’s evil, cause they target the mentally ill. And get the government/heath insurance to pay your medical euthanasia.
TL;DR: doctors are incentivise to kill you, and get paid for it. No chance of medical malpractice.
Source: I’m on reddit. I don’t have to provide shit.
petertompolicy@reddit
Insanely stupid interpretation.
It's hard to believe you can read and write and have thoughts that stupid.
rayquan36@reddit
He provided a source and everything. Stay mad
Powwer_Orb13@reddit
Yes, because a one time fee for euthanasia is definitely a better plan than long-term medications and therapy plans for extracting money, and your family doctor who could suggest this is also getting paid for operations that you undergo.
thomstevens420@reddit
I’m from Toronto and we actually have roving bands of doctors in ambulances snatching people yo euthanize them.
Soon there got to be so many of them they started having gang wars. The city had to crack down and now doctors are shot on site.
Elequist@reddit
This is always going to be my source from now on
Ssyynnxx@reddit
doctors arent incentivised to kill you that's just silly lmao
Asiriomi@reddit
You really think people would go on the Internet and just lie?
Ferrarileite@reddit
So, if I understood it correctly, "leaf" means Canadian here, there was recently a case of a Canadian doctor suggesting euthanasia to a patient (they were not in coma, the doctor said this to them), so when OP told the Canadian to limit test the resistance of their throat he was actually practicing modern Canadian medicine and got prosecuted for doing it without a license
DarkSkyKnight@reddit
Way more than a single case. It’s been an issue for half a decade now.
CelDidNothingWrong@reddit
Is euthanasia bad? Maybe I’m too European to understand, but why shouldn’t people with terrible lives be allowed to end themselves?
kaninkanon@reddit
I think it's just a thing people know about because of american scare tactics against universal health care.
Kronomancer1192@reddit
Becasue if you just broad stroke it like that you get cases where people are allowed to end their lives due to "seasonal depression" instead of getting proper help.
https://righttolife.org.uk/news/canadian-man-26-with-seasonal-depression-euthanised-despite-no-terminal-illness
anti-gerbil@reddit
There is litteraly ZERO downside to doctor doing that
StormOfFatRichards@reddit
Imagine going to the doctor for a cold and getting prescribed death
The_Noremac42@reddit
Because someone's life can usually get better, and doctors shouldn't be killing otherwise treatable people. It's just clinical murder.
Meme_Master_Dude@reddit
Oh they certainly can.
It's just that, the Canadians are just keep... Insisting on it. Even when the person is perfectly healthy
TimBroth@reddit
They certainly are allowed to end it themselves. Medical euthenasia should probably be reserved for non-reversible cases and the very elderly, not just regular suicidal people.
I feel this is pretty much the case, but the article doesn't frame it that way at a quick glance
sedme0@reddit
Well the problem is moreso that people are being offered euthanasia instead of proper care
LegOfLamb89@reddit
Suggesting euthanasia isn't the same as a patient receiving it
TokesNHoots@reddit
I have a coworker who was offered MAID from a doctor cause she got in a car accident and has spinal pain.
Honestly I don’t think a doctor should be recommending it. The patient should be the one bringing up their own life being terminated, not the doctor.
hoangsh12@reddit
Thanks sm for that, I actually lol'ed knowing that Canadian legalized euthanasia

Anon has been fined $5000, the maximum allowable under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, for providing medical advice to a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs without legal authorization from an accredited medical licensing board.
The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.

Took a sec, but actually got a laugh out me. Quality joke
