       WTAF? :blob_dizzy_face:   https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/woman-euthanized-against-her-will-after-husband-struggled-with-level-of-care-she-needed/ar-AA1US3eDA woman was euthanized 'against her will' just one day after expressing she no longer wished to proceed with assisted dying, as her husband had become overwhelmed by the demands of her care. Known only as 'Mrs B', the Canadian woman in her 80s had previously undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery, which resulted in multiple complications including respiratory failure that required hospital-based specialist treatment and additional surgical procedures. As her condition worsened, Mrs B made the choice to discontinue further medical intervention and opt for palliative care instead. Arrangements were made to provide support for both her and her family, and she was discharged to her home where her husband took on her care. It was then that she reportedly informed her relatives of her desire to access Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), a Canadian legal provision that permits qualifying patients to request professional assistance in ending their lives, either through clinician-administered medication or a self-administered prescription. While patients typically face a waiting period of several weeks, providers can expedite the process to the same day if they determine the situation is medically urgent. An Ontario Chief Coroner's report examining MAiD procedures raised alarm that protective measures were being undermined, resulting in deaths that warrant scrutiny, with Mrs B's case serving as a key example. Despite the assistance of a palliative care team, including nurses, Mrs. B's husband reportedly struggled with the level of care she needed. The report detailed that Mrs. B "reportedly expressed her desire for MAiD to her family", leading to her spouse contacting a referral service on her behalf that same day, reports the Mirror. The following day, she met with a MAiD practitioner who evaluated her eligibility. However, according to the report, "she reportedly told the MAiD assessor that she wanted to withdraw her request, citing personal and religious values and beliefs". She informed the assessor that "pursuing in-patient palliative care/hospice care and palliative sedation was more in-keeping with her end-of-life goals."The next day, Mrs. B was urgently taken to the emergency department of her local hospital where she was deemed stable, but "her spouse was noted to be experiencing caregiver burnout". Her palliative care doctor submitted a referral for in-patient palliative care or hospice care due to her husband's burnout, but the request was rejected "for not meeting hospice criteria for end-of-life". On the same day, her spouse requested an expedited second MAiD evaluation, and another assessor conducted the review that evening, determining Mrs B qualified for MAiD. When the initial assessor learned of this development, they voiced strong objections and raised red flags. The report states: "This MAiD practitioner expressed concerns regarding the necessity for 'urgency' and shared belief for the need for more comprehensive evaluation, the seemingly drastic change in perspective of end-of-life goals, and the possibility of coercion or undue influence i.e due to caregiver burnout." The first practitioner sought to visit Mrs B the following day for a fresh evaluation, but the MAiD provider rejected this request "due to their clinical opinion that the clinical circumstances necessitated an urgent provision". A third assessor was then enlisted to perform a "virtual assessment" and concurred with the second assessor's conclusion that Mrs B met MAiD eligibility criteria. Mrs B received euthanasia that same evening. Ontario's MAiD Death Review Committee members expressed significant concerns in their report regarding the handling of Mrs B's case, with numerous members "believed the short timeline did not allow all aspects of Mrs B's social and end-of-life circumstances and care needs to be explored."

       @HebrideanHecate this is straying into legalized murder territory.  If your spouse is sick of you, he goes to the committee and they decide its time for you to die.  Its creepy.
