I repeat:
1-I support MAiD & think there *is* a place for those who want to exercise their agency at EOL, if they've had agency in living.
2-I support natural death & have been supporting pts in helping make their last chapter as peaceful as poss. for pt & loved ones for 20 yrs.

What does it say about Canada when rebuttal to ppl saying MAiD expanding too quickly without looking at all unintended consequences as seen on the ground is that we can't hold ppl "hostage" to slow inequitable system?
So oppressed ppl are to wait for equity to live, yet can die?

Moved instances because: Figuring out which Mastodon server to join is akin to IRL for Black, Indigenous, People of Global Majority (BIPGM) women/femme:
Are they safe for us? Will I need to assimilate? Do I need to code-switch?
Will they care more about the dominant comfort & civility than the truth?

As a woman of global majority (vs Woman of colour) MD who speaks about gendered racism, ableism, humanities in medicine, hard to find a safe space. Hoping I will be welcomed here! Thank you.
