90 year old nursing home resident chooses assisted suicide over another lockdown
A Canadian woman, Nancy Russel, was as healthy as a 90 year old could be.
But she chose to die rather than go through another lockdown at her nursing home, and the isolation which comes with it.
Canada does not require a terminal illness in order to qualify for medically assisted suicide. But still, the first time Nancy applied she was denied.
But the second time she asked to die, “more concrete medical health issues” had developed, and she was approved.
Nancy was allowed to die surrounded by family, singing a song she chose, instead of alone and depressed.
What is wrong with this world that a government would rather assist someone to die rather than allow people to live their lives?
