I read an article about an old man who has both Parkinsons AND Dementia who has been approved for Maid.
Prolifer comment to this was "True compassion means walking with people through their pain, not abandoning them to a premature death, "Every life has inherent value, no matter the circumstances, and our society should be investing in excellent palliative care and support systems—not in policies that treat vulnerable people as if their lives are disposable."
My opinion is it is up to the person to decide if their life is valuable enough to want to live through a brutal illness. I mean who the fuck wants to go thru the end stages of dementia and the indignities involved with many other horrible diseases?? Palliative care can only do so much. MAiD is about choice and it's up to the patient to decide if their life is no longer worth living! Why do these prolifers care so much about others people's lives that they know nothing about?!
