Remember when Canadians felt so much better about themselves compared to USians because Canada has universal healthcare?
Reading through the article, it looks like this is strictly medical related deaths still, though the last couple of paragraphs do show that there are still some times where it might have been allowed under dubious circumstances. That said, it does sound like the vast majority of those were people who wanted to go quietly on their own terms, which I can empathize with. If I had something that just made life a chronic slog and was unlikely to be correctable, or was likely terminal, I would rather die than constantly suffer (especially because here the bills would be far worse compared to Canada). I really do hope that they heavily reevaluate before further expanding access though, because it definitely sounds like there are still shortcomings with the process.
not my problem
