The part you seem to be missing is that suffering isn't reduced and may increase if proper care isn't administered. Hopefully you can now see the confluence of both factors leading to the question whether MAID is to some degree replacing proper care. |

Of course this is true. And if care isn't administered because of a choice by the person, then that's the end of the discussion. But, if its a lack of resources by the gov, then 100% these should be increased and I've already said I fully support that.
Is MAID replacing proper care? This could be a harder question to answer because what would your control group be. It would have to be one for which health care resources were available to them, AND, they also had a MAID-like option that normalized (i.e. not scandalous or considered morally 'wrong'). And then compare current uptake in Canada to see if there is a difference that could be attributed solely to a lack of health care resources being a driver, rather than just the existence of MAID as an alternative.
