    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.”

    So minors can be told to kill themselves earlier by the state than they have the option for gender-affirming care? What happened to bodily autonomy one way or another… Can’t believe anyone supports this.

    I’ve been close to several people with treatment-resistant depression and shit like this has me about to fedposting
    I just have so much rage at so many things and people and it feels like there’s such little room to channel any of it where I am. I feel insane all the time

    “Doctors can bring up AS before patient has mentioned it.”

    Jesus Christ. These people clearly know how much authority the white coat brings with it and how much coercrive power that entails. This is horrifying.

    Self termination is a right all people should should have. The world should be a nice enough place it isn’t an attractive option. Thesis anti-Thesis

    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.
