没看出MAiD政策有什么问题。
说实话,他想申请政府也拦不住。。。如果政府批准了,那才能说政策有问题。
如果政府把支援乌克兰的钱省下来,补贴给穷人,照样有人抨击政府瞎花钱。

没有问题?他虽然有病,但是完全是因为贫穷才申请安乐死,而且一个医生已经批准了。这种情况联合国都写信干涉了。

“I don’t want to die but I don’t want to be homeless more than I don’t want to die,” shared Farsoud
When asked if he would consider assisted dying if he had stable housing, Farsoud said he wouldn’t “even be close to it yet.”
MAID officially became legal in Canada in 2016 under the requirement that death was reasonably foreseeable. The eligibility to apply expanded in March of 2022 to include people with disabilities or those suffering pain even if they are not close to death.
UN experts released a report in Jan of 2021 that said when “life-ending interventions are normalized for people who are not terminally ill or suffering at the end of their lives, such legislative provisions tend to rest on – or draw strength from – ableist assumptions about the inherent ‘quality of life’ or ‘worth’ of the life of a person with a disability.”
In a letter sent directly to the Government of Canada ahead of the change in MAiD legislation, the UN said it was concerned with the expanded access, specifically citing concern with a circumstance like the one Farsoud faces.
“It is not beyond possibility that, if offered an expanded right as per Bill C-7, persons with disabilities may decide to end their lives because of broader social factors such as loneliness, social isolation and lack of access to quality social services,” read the note.
Farsoud has already received one signoff from his doctor that says he meets the criteria, which is physical suffering due to a disability that is intolerable and cannot be relieved.

He still needs one more doctor to sign off in order to become eligible.
