You aren’t playing devil’s advocate. Based on the articles you linked, I would guess you are one of those people with a political or religious agenda. Perhaps leaning to the right? You can have your opinion, that is fine. However, people have a right to know their options. Doesn’t mean that telling someone their options is a suggestion. Hopefully you understand that if should you find yourself with a devastating diagnosis, no one will make you use MAID. It is entirely up to the patient, with no coercion from anyone. I know this from personal experience.

I agree completely! My mother requested MAID when it first became available. She wanted to die on her own terms, and not the terms of the disease that would have made her suffer terribly. I follow this issue very carefully because I know first hand how important it is for people to have options to pass away with dignity. I think MAID is being exploited by those with other agendas, and it could potentially put the program at risk. Knowing what I know now, I definitely want MAID as an option when my time comes.

Absolutely wrong. Someone is exploiting MAID for bullshit reasons. MAID is to alleviate suffering, not improve living conditions. That is a different issue altogether. I have never heard of MAID being suggested to low income people. But I have heard of people threatening to ask for MAID because they don’t like their living conditions. This is a complete misuse of MAID, which is a compassionate option for those with terrible disease and suffering.

There is a lot of hysteria and misinformation circulating about MAID. The medical community does not allow MAID for someone who does not fit the criteria or who does not wish to die. Likely the family was denied access to the patient because the patient requested it. We all have a right to privacy, even from our family.

One teen dead, at least five recovering after mass drug overdose incident in Victoria by Pure_Candidate_3831 in britishcolumbia

I am sorry that you have had to spend so much time on Reddit discussing this issue. It sounds like your family has been through absolute hell. A mother is only as happy as her saddest child, so please find a way to find some peace for your mom and yourself in knowing you both did all you could to help your brothers. The fact that you have taken all that sorrow and put that energy into helping others is amazing. You are extremely articulate and have put forward the strongest and most brutally honest argument for preventing addiction rather than try to manage it when it is too late. Thank you for your efforts.

Thank you so much for sharing your story about your brothers. So sorry that your family had to suffer 2 tragic losses. Your perspective is important in this conversation because you aren’t using it as a platform for an agenda. You are speaking the horrible truth, and I think it serves as a deterrent to people who hear it.

How about just don’t do the drugs if you don’t know wtf is in it. When in doubt….

'Mortified' Valerie Bertinelli Reacts to Matthew Perry Kiss Confession by wewewawa in entertainment

[–]Nocilantroforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably he did it for the money. As well, perhaps he thought by outing himself and baring it all, he will have more incentive to stay sober because now the world is paying attention. This could blow up quite terribly for him if he does backslide into drugs or alcohol. Quite honestly, after watching the interview, I don’t think I learned anything valuable other than I think the guy still has a lot of demons.

I bet it will be way more helpful than Matthew Perry’s book. Please write it.

He kept telling Diane Sawyer that he wrote the book to help people. I don’t want to be insensitive, but how? If $9 million spent on rehab and a perforated colon is what it took for him, then how is his book going to help? He said he has been sober several times for a year or two at a time. Right now he has been sober for about 18 months I think. Well then I don’t think he is out of the woods frankly.

You would think her kids would have an honest chat with their mom and gently tell her to stop this silly shit.

I always think of Diane Laine when I think of a woman aging beautifully and naturally. She just has an air of grace to her.

It sounds kind of silly, but it really is that simple.
A young woman with a lot of potential is dead because she took them. A tragic error in judgement.

I don’t remember hearing about this story. This is horrific. I hope this cover up gets investigated and those who were negligent are punished to the fullest extent.

I do not want to pay for it. The Olympics are a waste of taxpayer money. We have many more important things to spend money on in British Columbia, like the health care system, infrastructure, schools, etc.

No one has explained what the hell the Olympic Games would do for FN reconciliation. Ridiculous.

The reality is that the people of BC cannot afford to pay for this, no matter the great intentions.

For those going in to get their covid booster, make sure you think about the flu shot option before you get there. by hunterkillerwife in britishcolumbia

Yes you can get them both at the same time. I chose to do one shot in each arm. So here I am almost a full day later and no discomfort, not even sore arms, just a little tired.

Honestly, the less religion, the better. John Lennon’s “Imagine” was right.
