Shorter sentences are your friend... Your post is soooo packed with straw men arguments... it's choking in straw. You are not interested in a discussion, you are here to make declarations about people who hold different opinions than yourself.
You don't understand the basic-est thing I said (you play with syntax, I play with vocabulary). My point is that regardless of the legal safeguards put in place, such a policy is in itself an aberration.
Generally, people see life through the horizon of their own experiences and then impose this template onto others. If you focus on policies and politics, you will assume that everyone else does, or should do the same.
I will spell it out one last time: regardless of the "great care and consideration", suiciding people is an awful policy. Extending that policy to mentally ill people is absolutely horrendous.
Ah yes, there's that patronizing arrogance again while admonishing others.
And once we've given you all the information by which anyone should be able to put to rest their accusations; you come right back with the exact same repetitive nonsense of Canada's Government having an agenda.
Discounting everything anyone has to say and factual links offered contrary to your assumptions to merely repeat your mantra?

I don't even know what to say anymore. I don't care about Canada's government, or any government. It's an abhorrent policy, no matter who does it. If it were promoted not by a government, but by some NGO, it would still be the same abhorrent policy.

Uhmm... what? What is "contrary to your assumptions"?

You have to ask for it repeatedly several times within an extended period and after consultation with the doctors
Guess, that is the safeguard
Well, as regards people with mental illness seeking MAiD, as you can see by the details in the posted links, it's pretty complicated and is being looked at up, down, and sideways. There's no one answer or situation that can be pointed to as the definitive criteria under which a person with mental illness would be approved and fit the criteria. There would have to be absolutely no hope of improvement, recovery, or quality of life, and the doctors would have to agree that is the case. It's not as cut and dried as, for example, a disease like ALS.
