It’s almost as if that old Puritan bullshit about pain and suffering leading to godliness is still around and causing serious problems.
If you got something incurable and terminal and which is only going to get abysmally worse, you should have the ability to go out on your own terms in a peaceful and well-structured manner.
It sure beats slitting your wrists in a tub, that’s for sure.
And for the record: my parents are planning on MAiD for their own EoL strategy. Because dementia and chronic pain are no laughing matter. It’s my duty of care to ensure everything goes off without a hitch, something that I deeply owe two fantastic parents. They walked with me for the first 20 or so of my own life, it behoves me to walk with them to the last of theirs. There is no higher honour I can give.
