cyborganism,

We have a big baby boomer crowd who are getting increasingly old, have developed all kinds of health problems

Pair that with a healthcare system thats increasingly hard to access and you go a bunch of people who'd rather die than keep on living with pain when they can't get proper treatment due to lack of medical staff or ridiculously long waiting times.

RagingNerdoholic,

I might want to off myself if I had to live in Quebec, too

(not really, but what Canadian can resist an opportunity to poke fun at Quebec?)

GoochGuardian,

I wants to comment the exact same thing when I saw the headline haha.

@RagingNerdoholic

Wow.... ok.

VioletteRei,

Depending of the situation, I think assisted deaths are fine. If you are already old, and you get a degerenative disease who will make the rest of your life hell, I would prefer to end peacefully before all of it

Assisted deaths are fine as long as there is a good social safety net available. In lieu of one this just becomes eugenics.

raresbears,

I'm definitely not against it either necessarily, but there have definitely been some rather concerning cases in Canada recently
