You are right that vast majority of cases are people who are terminal and just want to die with dignity. There's absolutely nothing with that. However, I don't think there is an acceptable percentage of people choosing to end their life because they were suffering due to lack of a social safety net.

    No that's true, but I think we should be pointing out that in reality these programs are mostly used by the terminally ill.

    CHUDs seem to have this narrative that Commie-anada is killing people as part of some judeo-Bolsheviks plot or something.

    We're seeing the same happen in Belgium, the euthanasia laws are pretty open (which is good imo) but it means some people receive euthanasia because they are not getting the treatment they need, not because they fully choose so. Euthanasia is a good thing to have, but in a continuously degrading healthcare system it will turn in a "cost saving policy" like so many other things.

    Anyway, access to euthanasia good, liberals bad
