I follow a lot of American politics, despite being British.

Why? It's because my wife resides in America, and because America has a huge influence over the rest of the world - especially the billionaires.

American politics therefore is extremely important, even though I am unable to vote.

A well written thread.

When there are possible treatment options, they MUST be offered. Offering assisted dying without doing all that you can to help the individual is cruel and heartless.
A woman in Saskatchewan needs surgery for a parathyroid issue and is being offered MAiD instead.

There’s no one in the province who can perform the procedure and the government won’t pay to send her elsewhere.

This is why disability advocates warn about assisted dying
