I am a proponent of MAID, but I find it extremely disturbing that we're opening up MAID to conditions that aren't even covered under our social health system. We are openly saying that we consider mental health issues too expensive to treat and would prefer that people with these conditions just die already. Social supports for people with disabilities and expanding health care to include mental health coverage should absolutely be part of this, or we're just being murderous ghouls as a society.

Right! This is just assisted suicide. What our government is saying is basically that they prefer you go and die instead of giving you treatment.

What the fuck.

To be honest, I'd be in support of assisted suicide. I support total bodily autonomy, in all aspects.
