Alarmingly, Dr. Roy goes on to recommend that MAiD not only be provided to mature minors, but to infants under the age of one "with severe deformations and grave and severe syndromes." To be clear: People with disabilities have a right to life on an equal basis with others.— Inclusion Canada (@InclusionCA) October 7, 2022

Pay attention to Dr. Roy. He just comes out and says it. Just right out and says they should murder undesirable children. Jesus fucking christ.

    It's one thing when there's proper consent and the person actually wants to die do to something that literally nothing can be done to help, personally Imp all for a person having the right to end their life on their terms and refusing them that is often just a cruel way to control them and deny them autonomy. But (and this is a very important but), under capitalism these systems will always end up devaluing human life to the degree that it calculates murdering poor people as more economically effective than paying for social systems that would make their lives better. They're out there offering poor homeless people this option instead of getting them a home and psychological care from the trauma of living on the street and its fucking sick.

        This is who I was referring to: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/05/10/uaat-m10.html

        Shes not homeless, I misremembered that part, but she's in a situation where living in her current place is making her life unlivable and shes been refused suitable housing

          Yes, that is the exact edge case I was talking about in my original comment. Criticisms towards preventing this sort of situation are perfectly valid.

            Ok, so do you think that a capitalist government will do proper oversight and rectify these sorts of situations in any meaningful way? Because Im fairly certain they wont be doing anything close to enough.

            Thats the main criticism here, that its a capitalist government overseeing the application of assisted suicide, not that people should be forced to live against their will.

              Apparently the Conservatives in Canada just blocked a bill that would address some problems with disability benefits. I forget if it was at the national or provincial level. But the idea that the state would intervene meaningfully to address the needs of people with serious disabilities who need extensive supports is farcical.
