Several elected officials are active these days, either on the question of their salary increase, or on the place where to allow people to obtain end-of-life care.
And this, while data is available on the fact that, for the vast majority of them, people wish to die at home, supervised by competent personnel and surrounded by their loved ones, family, friends.
For several years now, several successes have been achieved by various programs, including that of Verdun, where doctors and nurses come and go to see sick people, often at the end of life. People are grateful for the clinical attention of medical professionals that is given to them at home. We must encourage and better fund this practice, decide to send our clinicians home, where people live and want to die.
It therefore seems rather unusual to me that our elected officials are discussing the place where people should be allowed to obtain medical assistance in dying when so much data is available on death at home.
What have you become, dear elected officials, to be so distracted and so inattentive to common sense, to the dignity and respect that people at the end of life deserve?
Might as well die at the mall, as long as you do.
