When this news broke everyone came out of the woodwork to help him and he is no longer applying for MAID.
My coworker’s husband has end stage COPD and has been in and out of hospital a lot lately. She says she felt pushed for him to accept MAID, but they didn’t and he is doing somewhat better now. It’s temporary obviously but I also understand not wanting to lose him. There have been other stories where some people feel the decision was made irresponsibly, this is a good article about it: www.newyorker.com/magazine/…/the-death-treatment
I don’t know what I think about MAID for mental health conditions. Not that I don’t think they are debilitating, but I wonder how sound of mind someone who is suffering so much is in. I really don’t know the answer to that.
