    Fine, if it’s not an option. But it IS an option. Other countries can treat their ill. Fuck, THIS country could do it 40 years ago.

    If we can spend money on MAID, we can spend money on treatment. There is absolutely no reason that we could not be offering treatment. If there was, then great. But it’s simply being withheld for fucking ideological bullshit.

    How much do you think it costs to render MAID?? It’s not fucking cheap! Not even counting the societal cost. And if your argument really boils down to, “it’s cheaper to kill people than to treat them,” then sir, fuck you so hard.

    I am one of those people you are talking about. Stop talking on my behalf, listen more.

      Other countries have mental health crisises as well. I can’t name a single first world country that has enough mental health support available to everyone. It’s very very difficult given that most people won’t even talk about their problems.

      Maid is cheap, but my argument has nothing to do with that. Maid is a personal choice, and I think everyone deserves that right.
