    I think the problem is that nobody knows how awful it can be until it happens to them, and then they can’t do much to advocate for themselves because alll of their energy is just being used to survive. Doesn’t help that most politicians don’t seem to give a shit too…

      Yes, by the time most people want MAID they’re too far gone to get it.

      That’s why it is very important to have a will.

        A living will. Families default to keeping people painfully alive and the hospital-medical industry profits from it.
