DEATH ON ORDER-
By Bernard Bujold -
Over the past few years, I have regularly learned, always with great sadness, that acquaintances, neighbors, and even friends have requested medical assistance in dying or assisted suicide. You should know that in Quebec, only medical aid in dying administered by a doctor is legal, whereas elsewhere in Canada we can choose between the act of a doctor or applying the end-of-life treatment ourselves.

Personally, I'm not in favor of either of these two methods of dying, as I feel that life is worth living to the end, but I may change my opinion one day when I've become totally moribund. I would choose to apply the treatment myself, however, because I like to be in control.
But in the end, I believe in miracles, and when faced with life's obstacles, when I can't overcome them, I let fate decide.
French singer Johnny Halliday once said that people like him shouldn't die and should have some kind of eternal life!
I don't know if I'd want to live forever, but right now it's not an option available...
In any case, this subject of induced death before the end of life is a new social debate, and we can say that in 2024, death can be ordered like a kind of consumer product, and it's free... Specialists even say that medical aid in dying doesn't generate additional costs for the healthcare system and that, on the contrary, it generates savings.
