  My understanding is that MAiD can't be offered, it can only be requested by the patient. Also the deadline for MAiD to be available to people who are only suffering mental illness did come up last month, but the government has pushed the deadline to at least March 2023. 
  In the news recently there have been some individuals working for government bodies that suggested MAiD to patients who were disabled, but those individuals were being negligent in their duties and were fired.
context: Damn, that does sound like it was a shit show. I feel worse now for the woman, she didn't want to do it, but they made a pact and he couldn't do his part. And then being in the same room with her dead husband for over 3 hours, trying to get the courage to shoot herself and then flashbanged. Damn she went through literal hell, I can't imagine her fear and emotions. Hospital staff went through hell, too. But that poor lady... >
  
  No winners here at all >
  
  The husband got his relief. >
  
  Unfortunately it seems like he passed the pain onto his wife >
  
  Nd that's why there should be a legal avenue to end things without a mess if health is deteriorating faster than we can control it >
  
  Jack Kevorkian had the right idea >
  
  My Grandpa recently passed using the MAiD program and honestly he would have done it the day it was offered if they would have let him. I can’t imagine him having to suffer the way he did near the end without that option as his quality of life was non-existent at that point. >
  
  Maid program is a new term to me >
  
  MAiD is the name of the program used in Canada.
  After seeing two Grandparents see their healthy slowly and painfully deteriorate - I'm glad MAiD is available in Canada.
  I still recall my Grandfather in his final weeks questioning why his body wouldn't just let go seeing how much he was suffering. >
  
  The international community is giving us a lot of grief over MAiD. But fuck it. We're trying to do the right thing with it. I'm proud of us for our progress on MAiD. >
  
  With the exception of those arguing in bad faith, the issue was with how it was being offered and handled, not that the program existed. I wish all the states in the US would offer it.
