I don't mind that actually.

I know people were using the narrative "Trudeau just wants us to all kill ourselves when we get old!!!", but the reality is having the choice to end your own life in a comfortable manner especially when older should be a choice you can choose to make in my opinion.

Growing old with morbidities sucks, for some elderly they experience a long protracted decline with minimal agency and utility within their lives at that point. My mom is a perfect example of that, if she could die tomorrow she would happily take that pill.

I think its cruel to force someone to experience that type of life until they eventually die as a result of some aggressive cancer, or breaking their hip and suffering through a painful attempt at recovery.

It's a sad and ungraceful way to be forced to go out.

If you let your sick dog suffer while they are riddled with cancer and shitting themselves it’s inhumane, so I don’t know what could possibly be inhumane about allowing someone to die with dignity when they choose the suffering/burden to their family is too much.
