I will forever be ashamed that I bought into the hype and propaganda around Canada's introduction of this and was a tacit supporter of it. Seeing it as it is, fucking eugenics plan that's now spreading, is just abysmal.

I mean, it was sold as a way for Terminal patients with like a cancer or muscular disorder who would have to go through years of absolute torment and pain of living, but just not taking your meds would also be a slow an painful death.

It was sold as "Death has already opened the door for this person" not "Death would be a real relief on the budget, ol'chap"

So I don't blame you for falling for it, Capitalism corrupts everything, and even in death, they are trying to make sure you can't escape.
