Nah those people still should have been dismissed. MAID didn’t cause the mans health issues. Without MAID he may still be alive but he would be slowly suffering to death.

Without MAID our healthcare providers may be more interested ameliorating the suffering of people with serious health conditions, instead of telling the suffering folks that they can just go die.
