"From my perspective MAID isn't just for terminal illnesses" probably aligns way closer. I'm with woob; if people don't want to use Track 2 MAiD, they don't have to, and removing the option for them to choose for themselves feels like a step in the wrong direction. And at the same time, better mental health supports should also be prioritized.
As an aside, anyone else automatically ignore something the moment they break out the phrase "Do better" in isolation, like in a title? Like "prepare to be condescended to!".

If I'm terminal, just give me the drugs and I'll figure it out. Don't need a government form for that haha. If I only had 12 months I could deal with a lot of pain.
MAIDs value is when you are in chronic pain/brain damage/ASL/paralyzed and you just know its going to get worse for decades. Official opt out form becomes more useful. Especially if you could sign it pre-emptively like a DNR.
