>Speaking as an American who's talked to a lot of Canadians and made many trips there, one issue is that pallative care can bleed into euthanasia due to tolerances around opiates... what happens when you give someone enough medication to cure their pain, and they overdose? Or if you give them enough in a bottle to do so on their own? That's how you get to a point that people are handed nothing but Tylenol and an offer of a suicide booth or whatever... that is. I am not really sure what you are trying to say here. Yes Doctors work with a lot of people on the edge of death, so their patients die all the time. Also Canadian doctors are not liable for the harm they cause in the same way as American Doctors. But poor care, freak accidents, or patients too close to death save are not the same thing as euthanasia. |

My bad... I was saying if you're on the edge of death, nudging towards euthenasia when the situation could be cured with some kind of assistive device is abusive.

Then I guess they can do things like caution someone the amount needed to cure their pain may kill them? I've never really had a doctor who did anything but treat the relationship as extortionary -- if I don't make a fuss about whatever mistakes they make, they won't try to say I should go into a mental health facility.
(It's really exhausting when the barrier to your mental health is lack of income.)
Sorry if my post was a bit rambly or unclear, I'm just... not having a good day... and trying to distract myself with the news.
