    I went looking around for more info about MAiD after this post and found this. (I’ll fix the link as soon as the bot scolds me).
    I can feel so emotionally empty sometimes, but watching this video, the part with Orlando Da Silva in particular, I recognized in him exactly how I felt from about 17-27. I could write paragraphs right now about the ways I know he felt just from the micro-expressions on his face in a <1 minute interview. I had tears streaming down my face before I even realized I was feeling it. The weak half-hearted arm gestures and the defeated half-mumble as he felt the energy sucked straight out of him talking about his treatment. It just caught me off guard.

    I don’t think I have a point here beyond “I had an intense reaction to this and wanted to tell someone.”
