Yeah, this is where I get caught in circles. I get, as a whole this UN committee, as well as many other organizations, want to push for as much improvement as possible. Very reasonable and understandable they have the goals to improve the rights of humans and ensure equality. I may not like the some of the suggestions, but they do have a supported rationale even if I'm not 100% sold on 100% of their recommendations.

I want people to have autonomy, both for life and death. But I also want improved rights protections alongside proactive approaches when it comes to social determinants of health. Improved interventions when we can't prevent problems.

However, I do beleive there exists some situations where even if we did address all of those aspects, there are still 1:1 000 000 cases per where the symptoms of a diagnosis, groups of diagnosis collectively, or the adverse effects of their treatment options are unbearable for some. So I don't want to take away MAiD as a possible compassionate option in those rare circumstances. Watching someone slowly die of health complications, or inevitable and impending renal dialysis they plan to refuse, or starving themselves....it's distressing.

So in my frustrating mental circle I continue to go >.<
