It is indeed encouraged, I'm somewhat disabled with chronic fatigue, a condition many institutions don't even believe exists. So I'm sensitive to what people like me go through. I'm fortunate that I can pay my own way but others I know who rely on government assistance have privately relayed to me that they have been personally encouraged to look into MAiD. The "maybe you're faking it" has morphed into "maybe your life just isn't worth living, and we're still going to deny you disability... so think about it."

Personally I'd love for more research into ME/CFS and Long Covid but I'm pretty sure it'll get pushed into the too hard basket and MAiD will be over used as the easy solution.
