I agree, I just don’t share the optimism that it wouldn’t become an issue in the USA. Just because they don’t usually say the “kill yourself” part out loud here doesn’t mean our system doesn’t have other ways of encouraging it (like underfunding resources for vets). If MAiD expanded beyond terminal illnesses in the USA, then what would happen when a vet needs treatment for chronic pain or PTSD and there’s a 6 month wait at the VA hospital, but MAiD only has a 3 month wait?

I mean, the US government kinda does deem people too expensive to treat every time medical treatments are denied to Medicare/Medicaid patients.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it! I’ve been dragging my feet bc I wasn’t sure how to go about it

I’ve been wondering what’s the best way to ask someone for permission to go on their land. Do you have to know them personally? If not, how do you go about it—do you just knock on their door? Mail them a letter?

I’m sorry people are being so disrespectful!
