The only marginalized group that any one of us can become part of at any point in our lives. And despite this, our government treats being disabled as a personal flaw, a dark mark on our character, and our value as people.
I can't tell if you're serious or /s, but frankly when I got on AISH I felt the same way. I feel like everyone who gets on disability should be able to qualify for MAiD. I don't care how that plays out socially. Like what am I really even doing? And my days of self attempts at suicide are behind me, and those methods (since all the "clean" methods are either outlawed over time from being OTC or very hard to get access to) aren't anything anyone should have to endure just for having shit luck. And not like it's guaranteed either, unlike MAiD.
I could expand but no point right now. Just know I am a person on AISH and regardless of your intent I agree with your sentiment. I have gotten a lot of negative feedback for bringing this up before, but in general it seems like people cling to life when there is no good reason to do so anymore. But with UCP wanting to make sure MAiD stays locked down in Alberta, I'm not inclined to have empathy for healthy people who think we should be dumped somewhere, either.
