I explained MAID to a friend recently and they completely blew off the whole thing with impoverished people being forced into "choosing" death. "I assume it's only a few cases of that and besides, it's good that terminally ill people or people in massive chronic pain can choose to go on their own terms."
Liberalism is a death cult.
Even if it is only a few cases that's a few instances of people dying unnecessary and preventable deaths. We just have such a sick society that it's no longer 'one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic', rather 'one death is a statistic, and a million deaths is a statistic'.
