My father had a DNR on file and had made it abundantly clear in many conversations with myself, my siblings and with his doctor that in the event of a life changing event he did not want to stay alive. At 95 he had a stroke that essentially left him unable to move or communicate. No doubt that with therapy he would have recovered to some degree BUT there was no doubt that this was the exact scenario that he had in mind when he said that he did not want to live if it meant living like this.
There was a number of requirements that needed to be met, of course, but in the end it was only a few days before the doctor administered the drug that stopped his heart for good. Keeping him alive for potentially years would have been a cruelty that crossed into inhumane.
In my teens my grandmother had a stroke in her 80s. She lived at a nursing home in a greatly diminished state for years before she died of so-called natural causes. We'd visit a couple times a year and I recall vividly her grabbing my hand and managing to utter the words "I want to die". It was heartbreaking but there was nothing we could do.
The Canadian law is not the result of a bunch of monsters deciding to take lives willy nilly for no better reason than the people are inconvenient. This is an ethical and humane law.
The bimbo in the video has jumped on the bandwagon that the MSM has been making a fuss over recently. As usual they have done reality and truth a huge disservice. Meanwhile Titsey la Boo here is busy racking (heh heh) up virtue signalling points while trumpeting her outrage over something she understand not one bit.
It's a slippery slope, dumb ass. They start out by encouraging the terminally ill to kill themselves, then they help them, then they advise them it would be better to kill themselves, then they advise those who are not terminally ill, but who are an economic burden, that it would be better for them to just die and get out of the way of others, then finally the make the decision for them whether they like it or not. That's where this goes, and it always goes there.
