EUAGH AUGHAGS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

it may look awful, but it's apparently very fast, pretty cheap, and results in pretty instant pain relief for carpal tunnel patients

my mom had it done and it helped her a lot

Oh. That's pretty cool I suppose.

good for you're mom then

Did she regain functionality?

you know what i find really scary

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_in_Canada#Permissiveness_of_current_law

the can*dian """government""" has been just kind of thoughtlessly following through on the implementation of these policies without question or pushback

so that things like this

https://globalnews.ca/video/9323192/former-paralympian-says-veterans-affairs-department-offered-her-assisted-death/

happen every once in a while

[Mando Pandango]

i recently learned that the actor Rene Auberjonois (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Uncharted 2, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) died through physician-assisted suicide after a terminal diagnosis and I think that's pretty cool.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

yeah okay but

i don't understand how this

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/paralympian-claims-canada-offered-to-euthanise-her-when-she-asked-for-a-stairlift/ar-AA14RLpW

could possibly happen

[Kalahari Inkantation]

oh i think i found it

https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/medical-assistance-dying.html#a2

so that's actually official policy huh

Sends a chill down the spine, eh?

"the state agrees that your life sucks so if you want we can kill you. that's fine"

[Kalahari Inkantation]

giving folk a say in how and when they expire is cool, but canada's implementation is harrowingly irresponsible

if treating one's condition is more expensive than being suicided, there's a perverse incentive for the can*dian government to simply deny you care, present suicide as the only option, and make your life suck so much that you ultimately accept the cheaper fix: a lethal injection from trudeau himself

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/woman-euthanasia-commercial-wanted-to-live

https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/woman-with-disabilities-nears-medically-assisted-death-after-futile-bid-for-affordable-housing-1.5882202

this sort of problem is unheard of in the other right-to-die states

state-assisted suicide should never correlate with poverty (and if it does, it's a sign policymakers have TREMENDOUSLY ed up in the way it's worded)

https://nationalpost.com/news/canadian-veterans-assisted-suicide?r

and it should never be """offered""" for conditions that can otherwise be treated/managed to the patient's (living) satisfaction

imagine having some soulless government ghoul kindly recommend you literally kys you'reself because that mobility scooter you need is just too darn pricy, or because you're a chronically neglected homeless vet

and withholding any treatment option that's more expensive than suicide until you give in

that's ACTUALLY the stuff of living nightmares, imo

it almost certainly results in a disproportionate number of first nations being assisted-suicided, which is just extra bad lol

>mfw you apply to a job working at an aws facility and you immediately see that one of the managers looks at your profile
