Yeah this is the thing. When this last came around I was SO in favor of MaiD because it made sense and the slippery slope arguments all seemed kind of silly.

And then Canada did it and just like skiied all the way down to the bottom of that slippery slope. Every thing the anti MaiD guys were saying was going to happen happened. People being pressured into choosing MaiD to avoid healthcare costs, people who can’t consent getting forced into MaiD, literal commercials for MaiD. It seems to be too much.

I have no issue with it from a moral perspective, and think it’s a choice I’d want to make in certain situations but idk man. The externalities seem bad, and Canada is usually better than the US at these these things.
