This is a proposition to offer to #MAID people who have been detained in prison/ after 6 months
This is not autonomy; this is a potential pipeline from suicidal ideation/criminal activity to death

Proposed "Mental Health" Pipeline
1: You struggle with ideations
2: You attempt and are detained against your will
3: After 6 months of isolation from society in custody you are offered a "mercy death"
Does that sound like autonomy?

Proposed "Criminal Justice" Pipeline
1: Commit a crime that leads to more than 6 months imprisonment
2: Offered access to a "mercy death" if you consent
What differences does this proposed "solution" have from the death penalty? What similarities?

Do you trust the reporting system to red flag any potential coercion? Do you trust the safeguards?

Is this what we want as a #MentalHealth system?
Is this #CriminalJustice?
If they pick death while in prison/psychiatric care is that really an independent choice? Potentially the lowest point in their life?

One of the prominent arguments in criminal justice is that imprisonment is an investment in the future of the person being detained
If we offer them death before they have even finished their sentence doesn't that undermine this intention completely?

If #MAID is to be incorporated into these systems
Are we just making a death sentence by any other name? A death sentence that makes us feel as though it's autonomy in action

These are dark implications that come from the mental illness clause
We are opening pandora's box
There is no objective standard to define "existential suffering" and the safeguards are theoretical

We live in a system with biases against the Disabled and Mad
This is a life sentence of institutionalized ableism and sanism that coerces the people "suffering" into an early death? This is Eugenics by any other name

Losing track of the ways the mental health sunset clause can be used to advocate for greater access
Euthenasia is being normalized and institutionalized as a "solution to suffering"
The media suggesting a slippery slope aren't looking at all these pipelines, almost no one knows

I'm dedicating time to it nearly every day just to stay aware
It's not even enough; I still am ignorant to an extent
Even I can't keep track of the potential new pipelines to access an early death; what chance does the public have at awareness?

The polls mean nothing
No one is aware of what is going on
Dying with Dignity is calling the shots, unopposed and stacking every panel and committee claiming expertise

Tired of experts appealing to polls
The polls show serious concerns unless you specifically cherry pick the Dying With Dignity funded polls
Yes, they have more funding than Disability Rights orgs
Yes, they have more lobbying power

Don't fail to see how most of the people with "existential suffering" are Disabled, Mad, Racialized, Women If you appeal to authority what are you co-signing?

How does our legal system prevent medical coercion?
What biases exist in the institutions to hide medical coercion? What evidence do you cite?
