Canadians with serious illnesses have opted for death only after years of failing to obtain proper medical care.

MAID is routinely practiced within the Canadian prison system.

    Yes, I agree that it shouldn't be used as an alternative to having a social system. I just think Canada's issue with this is not with MAID itself, rather that it's not an issue inherent to MAID as a concept, but rather an issue with an insufficient social system that's being actively dismantled. Kind of like how the issues with marijuana dispensaries aren't an issue of marijuana legalization as a concept.
