I mean, it doesn't surprise me.

My GFil found out he had stage 4 throat cancer, by that point he was completely unable to eat or drink, and was in his 90s. He requested MAID, which likely saved him a couple weeks to a month of suffering

His pregnant granddaughter held his hand as he left this world.

This would be chalked as a MAID death, even if it only saved him a couple weeks of suffering.

It is a MAIDs death. The whole point is that every occurs instead of a much worse death. They're not meant to happen if the person wouldn't have died otherwise. The scare mongers are avoiding the whole point
