This is absolutely not ethical??? What happened Canada

I dunno.

My mum was a nurse her whole career, and spent many years in the ward where they put the elderly that needed extra care, (many of which had mental health problems like demetia, mobilty issues and just general degradation due ti old age.

And it broke her heart every shift.

So many just wanted to die. Some with demetia would remember their families is lucid moments and cry that they had forgotten them, or that they werent at home any more. The infirm continually felt embarassed, ashamed, frail, (and often very angry), now they had lost their physical independence .
Many had severe depression due to lonliness and losing their former lives .
Most knew they were there till they died.
The friends they did make on the ward - died.

Even my mum who was an avid Christian felt deep within her heart this was wrong .
These people sufffered emotionally and mentally even though they were cared for 24/7.

And having a son with a mental dissabilty, and being around those who are disabled in a way...i got to say - for some , the opportunity to choose to die would be a blessing some would gladly opt for.

For many ...life is SO hard, so lonely, full of all these things they know they will never do, know, feel, or experience .....and they know they dont have a life by normal standards .
And that is a torture within itself .

One would have to be very careful how this was implemented . And extensive monitoring and assessment would also come into play.
But I DO think there would be people who would welcome this choice .

I think its unfair to assess someone else's life from our own neurotypical and physiotypical view points, and condemn them to what we think is right, when we don't truly know how it feels to be them .

Some people have existences where all they do is struggle and suffer through it waiting to die.

And THAT , seems ethically wrong to me .😔
