    Yes because she requested it?

    I requested ADHD medication and was approved for that. If I don’t want to take it or if I want to stop taking it that’s my choice.

    This is kind of how healthcare works so I don’t understand the sarcasm.

    I think her approval for MAiD also boosts the visibility of her disease and how, again, all countries (not just Canada) care for people with this condition (spoiler: they don’t).

    Telling this story in the media is a last ditch effort to get adequate care. Otherwise, she doesn’t want to live like this. Sounds reasonable.

    Other countries like the US would probably just prefer she die homeless, poor, and quietly in the street somewhere, while still denying her care for her condition.
