"Thing people wanted was made legal, and then the people used it". Film at 11.

MAID accounts 4.1% of deaths and, if current trends continue, will grow by 35% per year! That means that in two years 79.1% of Canadians will be Murdered by Trudeau's health care!!!!!!!!!

-idiots

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

While the number of Canadians killed by healthcare is going to skyrocket most of it will not be voluntary.

But the politicians called the nurses heroes during the pandemic, what more do you people need?

I think it might be time to cut taxes to the richs and privatized another chunk of the healthcare system.

[-] finestnothing@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Pretty sure they mean 4.1 > 5.4 > 7.29 ... , so after 10 years 82% of Canadians will be being murdered. By year 11, it will start killing non-canadians with a 111% adoption. In 30 years, we will all be dead

Canada logged the fastest-growing rate of medical assistance in dying (MAID) deaths in the world, according to a new report from an Ontario-based think tank.

I'm Sure I'm sure they're selling it as something enormously negative whilst missing the part where this is very positive

Between Futurama and King Of The Hill, all of modern day life was predicted.

King of the Hill covered a bunch of stuff, like LGBTQ+ issues, gender equality, drug abuse, corporate greenwashing, and at least a dozen others I can't recall off the top of my head. Mike Judge explored a lot of liberal ideas using a very conservative friendly show.

What the premier of Saskatchewan would look like?

Damn, the battle maids have really stepped up their game

They don't once explain what MAID stands for. Medically Assisted Intentional Death?

[-] GCanuck@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I believe it’s “Medical Assistance In Dying”.

My high ass thinking people high on weed were going around killing maids. Like as a trend or something.

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Well, I wasn’t even aware it was legal now until this.

Of course rates will be high at first while we catch up on the backlog of people who have been suffering for years already.

[-] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

How fucking inhumane of us to give the chance to these people to go out on their own terms and in dignity, instead of dying a slow painful, ugly death like god intended them to.

[-] m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

I wish they would make the resources (that I hope) they give to loved ones available to those of us that could DIY the practical side.
