telemetry, not red socks
There was a news report yesterday that the provincial government here is going ahead with advanced notice MAID for dementia affected people by the end of this month, irrespective that the federal government has not updated the federal criminal code. The health minister has worked it out with the justice minister that under this new method of using MAID the doctors or nurse practitioner involved who actually performs the MAID action is not to be prosecuted.
This is good news for me as it seems that many years from now this will be how my life will end.

It's probably a good thing to decriminalize the actions taken by healthcare providers. Contextually, it assumes healthcare providers have the training and experience and moral constitution to do the best for their patients, with the best information they have about those patients. That assumption is where many problems arise with a program like MAID, I suppose. But that can be said for many things in the healthcare system.
