Unravelling MAiD (linked in the thread & available online for free) is a required read authored by field & patient experts. It’s a critical examination of Canada’s death program through the lens of law, policy, ethics, disability rights & more. I highly encourage you to read it

I definitely don't say this often enough but I'm extremely grateful to @rljcoelho @TrudoLemmens and @Psych_MD for including me in their book. Not to even mention their tremendous support and encouragement.

Humanists should be snobby about the fact that they are stewarding a tradition that stretches back thousands of years rather than doing busy work involving little technical puzzles. Instead they find dumb “research” niches to fill because STEM gave them an inferiority complex.
Jennifer A. Frey@jennfreyOct 22
Replying to @jennfrey
I'm convinced that the R1 model will always disfavor the humanities and liberal learning and that we need to be very savvy and strategic in how we understand ourselves and our place within that model. Very few humanists agree with me, I've found.

Some people think that Learned Hand had the perfect name for a judge. But "Learned" was the judge's middle name, not his first name. Hand's real first name was better suited for a lawyer: Billings.

They sure have. And as someone who has testified before parliamentary committees on MAID three times, I can tell you the hostility and aggressiveness towards any criticism or challenge of MAiD during this last round was unparalleled. Senator Wells was a big part of why.
Kristine Stringham
@GrandmaKristineOct 13
Canadian senators, who are appointed and not elected, have been highly influential in the expansion of MAiD. We have become a warning to other countries yet the activist senators keep pushing.

"Barriers" has become a repetitive buzzword, used as a blanket label for any rule, law, or regulation. Deliberate obscuring of intent when those act as safeguards, protections and requirements to prevent abuse and protect lives. It renders word meaningless & as a crip I object.
Dr. Kristopher Wells@KristopherWellsOct 13
Picard is right. “Creating additional barriers to MAID for people with mental illness is discrimination, pure and simple. “

I haven’t been writing regularly on substack and part of that is because of health issues I’ve been dealing with. But the other part is I don’t have many paid subscriptions and I’m kind of over watching my work copied and pasted by those who get paid & access to write/speak.

1. It is killing. Euthanasia is the killing of one person by another. 2. The govt itself refers to it as the MAiD regime. 3. Speaking plainly and directly is the most effective way to neutralize deceptive language, such as obfuscation, political spin, or govt doublespeak.

If there’s any issue worth thinking carefully about, it’s probably the moral duties we owe people we’re considering killing.

In a meaningful sense, the person who made the advance directive doesn’t exist anymore. Not at all clear that you owe superior duties to that person and not the one who is actually present.
Tyler Black, MD
@tylerblack32Oct 10
If my advance directive says "please give me MAiD when my dementia gets to the level that I'm a burden on my loved ones", them the answer is you give me MAiD, not respond to my delirious protests. If you don't know how to "interrogate delirium or confusion", you shouldn't be a doctor. There is NOTHING HARD about this scenario, except if you don't understand how brains work.
