If anyone wants to discuss the subject of MAID, I bumped an old thread on the subject over in the Pit since I received more info and wanted to post an update. It’s [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wow-this-is-fu-ed-a-canadian-woman-with-disabilities-is-pursuing-medically-assisted-death-after-failing-to-secure-affordable-housing-canadian-dopers-is-there-more-to-this/963870/).

I understand if people aren’t comfortable chatting in a Pit thread though, so alternatively a new thread elsewhere might be a good idea.
