Dear Editor:
We have become a culture that neglects it’s elderly, disabled and other vulnerable citizens.
Rarely do we offer them our time. Leaving their needs unattended, we do not show these people that they are loved, and their mental health declines.
Without love they see no reason to live, and eventually they consider suicide.
Offering doctor-assisted suicide tells these people that their lives are not worth our time or energy. Medical assistance in dying (MAID) offers them an easy way out of life, rather than a loving way to live life.
Our vulnerable family members, friends, and neighbors, must be loved, and protected from euthanasia.
Elisha Holwerda,
Arthur
