Alberta bill would limit medically assisted dying to patients facing 'reasonably foreseeable' death - Lemmy.ca

New legislation would prevent anyone in Alberta from accessing medical assistance in dying (MAID) if they are unlikely to die within the next 12 months.

Personally I find this terrible. If they wanted to reduce MAID applications they should be funding effective healthcare. Practicing medicine from the legislature should be criminal.

I find the nuances of these laws extremely hard to navigate, tbh, but is there an example of someone who would benefit from this without actually having a reasonable likelyhood to die in the following 12 months?

Must be nice to be in a position, as an able bodied person, to debate nuances and navigation of laws for such matters. To not understand it.

Who would actually benefit from this? If you seriously don’t understand this very very simple question, I’m not sure expending energy on hitting my keyboard is a good investment at this point.
