In a perfect world we could discuss whether it’s appropriate to consider euthanasia on compassionate grounds. But this isn’t that world. It always turns in to murder. Every time

We have to deal with the idea that people are still going to live in pain in the years, generations, possible centuries before the revolution. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be working to ruduce suffering under these conditions.

This is people who either can’t afford palliative care, or live in regions where palliative care options simply don’t exist. This is disabled people whose disability benefits aren’t enough to afford housing.

It very much, 100% isn't. You can't just apply for MAiD in Canada because you can't afford rent. Or rather, you can apply but you won't get it. edit: I misread your comment. I see what you mean. Yes, I think that is a valid criticism as well, as I mentioned earlier I'm not against those criticisms.

They’re going to expand it to kids and mentally ill people next year

You must understand that it's also really bad to say you have to live your entire life in agonizing pain because of your anxiety condition. Like excluding people with mental illness from those procedure may be more cruel than including them. Similar with youth. These aren't easy decisions, but what we're really doing but passing these laws is just allowing the conversations between the individual, family members and physician to happen with that option on the table if they think it's appropriate. Kind of similar to how permitting abortion just allows women to have the conversation with their doctor, and make the best decision for them.
