Providers expressed deep discomfort with ending the lives of vulnerable people whose deaths were avoidable, even if they met the criteria in Canadas euthanasia system, known nationally as MAiD, for medical assistance in dying." [04:54] IsambardPrince "In the case of a man identified as Mr. A, Ontarios expert committee questioned whether authorities tried hard enough to relieve his pain before he was euthanized. Mr. A was an unemployed man in his 40s with bowel disease and a history of substance abuse and mental illness. He was described as socially vulnerable and isolated. Some committee members were alarmed that a psychiatrist suggested euthanasia during a m [04:55] IsambardPrince ental health assessment. [04:55] IsambardPrince Mr. A was eventually picked up and driven to the location where he was killed by the health professional who euthanized him a transgression of professional boundaries, according to some committee members. They said that might have created pressure and gave rise to a perception of hastening a person towards death. [04:55] IsambardPrince Another case detailed Ms. B, a woman in her 50s suffering from multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome, with a history of mental illness including suicidality and post-traumatic stress disorder. She was socially isolated and asked to die largely because she could not get proper housing, according to the report. [04:55] IsambardPrince Committee members couldnt agree whether her death was justified; some said that because her inadequate housing was the main reason for her suffering, she should have been disqualified from euthanasia. Others argued that social needs may be considered irremediable if other options have been explored." [04:55] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], So Canada is murdering the people who are mentally ill, can't get housing, aren't being managed properly for pain, need money, etc. [04:55] IsambardPrince Because it's cheaper.
