Alberta now looking at Canada's slide into allowing non terminally ill people access to assisted dying.

'The legislation also garnered support from Mara Grunau, chief executive of the Canadian Mental Health Association's Alberta division, who said in a statement that "Recovery from mental illness and suicidality is possible, expected even".'

An indicator of how far they'd strayed for terminal illness.

The counter that not allowing mentally ill people to get themselves killed, as it infringes on their freedom of choice, not only baffles me, but makes me wonder at the motivations of those with that view.

 "additional barriers for individuals who are suffering and who wish to exercise choice".

Good. Apparently widening the scope of who is eligible over time never happens apparently...
