@sim @KeepTakingTheSoma @Gnomeshatecheese @polarisera MAiD, in my experience, does work like that. You get a referral to a provider, because not all GPs are willing to do the extra education and become certified (nevermind the ethical dilemmas that some wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole).The MAiD provider does have to review your chart, because otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to fully evaluate the situation. You have a couple of appointments, and, if the MAiD provider accepts your case, you still don't get a date immediately. Some people get approved for MAiD but never set a date, and die before MAiD is implemented. They say they find comfort in knowing that, if their suffering becomes unbearable, they have an out. Some people die in their homes, some in hospital. There's a lot of accommodation made for these patients.
Anyway, it's not like you roll up to your GPs office, and a hearse is waiting out back. -

@polarisera @Gnomeshatecheese Or, have an advanced care directive in place and get at least a second opinion. -

@sim @Gnomeshatecheese @polarisera I agree that the issue is complex.
I've seen passive euthanasia since I was in nursing school. That's still a thing. But, there can also be abuses in keeping someone alive well past what is reasonable.
I hate that they made TV ads for MAiD. Hate, hate, hate it. And, I really hate that it's being offered in non medical situations.
Anyway, medical ethics is complex, and it can also be abusive to prolong someone's life beyond hope. -

@Flick @djsumdog @sun Because changing the word used obviously changes the attitude towards the bad thing.

@Cousin_Isobel Or, people use drugs to self medicate from the trauma of poverty and homelessness?
I think these kinds of social/medical problems are too complex for a one size fits all explanation. Or solution, for that matter. -

@LadyMont In 20 years, when people are decrying the horrific transphobic terms 'innie' and 'outie' Imma point and laugh so hard. -

@ChasingWaterfalls @skullhoney Not to mention, a big plot point was Carrie's mother's internalized misogyny, which she inflicted on her daughter. Oh, wait, in the transverse, Carrie's mom will be a TERF.
Should have seen that sooner. -

@Piss_Ant @polarisera But, scruffy!! That ear is a bit disturbing, though. -

@kfaythe87 @ArtistBristol The other thing is, where's the class analysis? The people getting raped and murdered are pretty much never the ones who made the policy that oppressed them in the first place.
The innocent are always most of the victims in any war. -

@Fullycaffeinated @Piss_Ant EW! Staff meeting...
Maybe having Monday off in lieu of Truth and Reconciliation Day is just a BC thing?
Figures. -

I don't think the Leopards Eating People's Faces party will stick to just the bad people that I don't like.
If you think that they will stick to the bad people that you don't like, well, I wish you luck with that. -

@SeaWolf @AnungIkwe My employer sent out an email decrying the protests. Wonder how Amy Hamm is doing...
