This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

I will never understand why this is an issue. If a qualified doctor certifies that you have no more than 3 months, then why be forced to waste away in a nursing home or even worse burdening a family member as you slowly die.

So it may seem at first blush, but that it is happening particularly now, particularly in countries like Canada and UK has darker undertones. Make Room! Make Room! like ones.

I know what you are talking about regarding to unburden the health system lets just let the patient die now even though they may have much more time left. I would of course disagree with that. Sad that even with something as final as death some governments are playing politics rather than allowing a physician with no skin in the game to assess the patient

Are you suggesting this as part of the Great Replacement conspiracy myth?

No, I do not. Look at the name of the community you're commenting in.

Ok. Can you express your ideas more clearly then?

He's clearly implying that this policy will eventually be misused to euthanize people.
