MAID is a Rigorous process

I am deeply offended by Dr Ladouceur’s suggestion that medical assistance in dying allows us to dispose of life.¹

As someone who has experienced a loved one hang himself years ago to end his terrible, terminal suffering (his wife found him), and more recently a loved one (Dr Jay Keystone) who chose medical assistance in dying to end his terrible, terminal suffering surrounded by his family, I cannot imagine that either chose to dispose of their lives.

Dr Ladouceur is frightened by how simple it is to die. It is not simple. It is a rigorous process that leads to a peaceful and dignified death. It is also very courageous. I look forward to the courts extending the criteria for people who choose to die with dignity.
