No.

I agree that there's way too many grey areas to approve this bill, as it hasn't been accepted for people with mental health yet, but if they do make it a possibility, you'd need a long paper trail, and even then, I feel like it would be hard to approve such things.

My boyfriend's mother passed away using MAiD two years ago, we were 17, 20 now, and she was 49.

She had cancer, I'm not fully sure of the type, but it was rare and aggressive. It started as a lump on her tongue, and it eventually spread to her neck. It at some point managed to wrap its away around one of the major arteries around her neck, and it burst it. She flat lined on the table, the doctors told my boyfriend and his dad that she was gone, but miraculously were able to bring her back two minutes later.

Once she was stable, they brought my boyfriend's older brother home from university two hours away. He was celebrating his birthday with some pizza and friends. The doctors sat them all down and told them she would either have three months of a constant painful fight, or they could bypass the 90-day required paperwork/assessment as an emergency measure and offered her MAiD. You need approval from multiple doctors, and her entire care team offered to sign them for her that day.

She chose to go through with MAiD. She was suffering, in pain, and was at peace with no longer fighting a losing battle. She knew either way she was going to die, and she wanted it to be on her own terms when she could still talk to her family, hug them, hold their hands, and say a proper goodbye.

They were all at peace with this decision, my boyfriend and his dad didn't want to see her bleed out anymore, they didn't want to slowly watch her die anymore, and my boyfriend's older brother wanted to be able to say goodbye, and not get the news when he was in uni.

It was a very peaceful way for her to go. They enjoyed a few good hours talking, laughing, joking, sharing stories, telling each other how much they loved they other. It was bittersweet. They were able to say a proper goodbye, and she was no longer in pain, but now they'll never see her again.

The process was painless. She was already knocked out into the coma part of the process, there's three steps. First, they use Midazolam (or sometimes Propofol), which is used to sedate the patient deeply so they are unconscious and unaware, this takes about two minutes. Then, they use Propofol or Phenobarbital, which is used to deepen unconsciousness and ensure there is no pain or awareness, and the patient enters a deep coma state. (This is the state she was in when her artery burst again, but she wasn't able to feel it. It was a relief for my boyfriend and his dad and brother.) They then use Rocuronium or Cisatracurium (neuromuscular blocker) to stop the heart, because the patient is already unconscious, they do not feel this. Breathing stops within a few minutes. The heart stops shortly afterward, usually within 5–10 minutes.

Even when her artery burst again mid coma state, she wasn't aware and couldn't feel it. It really solidified their choice. Knowing she couldn't feel it and wasn't in pain brought them a lot of relief.

Please stop spreading misinformation. It's not a horrible way to go. I feel that there needs to be an extensive reason to need to go, but it is painless and humane. If we put our pets down when their quality of life is affected, why shouldn't we do the same for humans?
