‘Euthanized Against Her Will’ Is a Funny Way to Say the State Murdered Her

In case you aren’t familiar, Canada has a federal program called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). Here’s more about it: 

Medical assistance in dying (MAID) is a process that allows someone who is found eligible to be able to receive assistance from a medical practitioner in ending their life. The federal Criminal Code of Canada permits this to take place only under very specific circumstances and rules. Anyone requesting this service must meet specific eligibility criteria to receive medical assistance in dying.
