Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) is an important service, and like the majority of Canadians, I think people who are very unwell with no hope of cure or improvement should have the right to choose when they end their lives, with close oversight from a medical panel.
But I think it's fundamentally wrong that someone like your friend should be forced to seek MAID for economic reasons, like a lack of insurance and health bills, or (as is sometimes the case here) being exhausted from trying to survive by on meagre government disability benefits. 🙁
