Eating Disorders, Depression Could Qualify Patients to Be Put Down by MAID

Eat too much? Feel blue? Then the Canadian government might want to kill you.

Via Western Standard:

At a Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying [MAID] in late March, Dr. Mona Gupta, a psychiatrist and professor at the University of Montreal, was asked by Conservative MP Andrew Lawton whether an eating disorder or depression would qualify.

“It depends on the circumstances of the person,” Gupta stated at first.

“So it could?” asked Lawton

“Potentially,” responded Gupta.

MAID has been offered as a solution to poverty, mental illness, needing a wheelchair lift, and backpain. Why not eating disorders and depression?
