So I find this very concerning
Because of the way EOL "therapy" was used in Canada.
Examples of end of life horror stories in Canada Alan Nichols Alan Nichols was a 61-year-old Canadian man who was euthanized despite concerns from his family and a nurse practitioner. His family reported the case to police and health authorities, arguing that he lacked the capacity to understand the process.
There is no care given for people with mental and emotional disabilities, even though there are places that offer Trancranial Magnetic Stimulation and EMDR therapies which should be expanded.
I know how poorly Illinois operates when it comes to caring for people, because I am one of those vulnerable people. I know mentally ill people will be a target for this, as well as those with developmental delays.
I do think it should be used with purpose for those who have terminal illnesses, but just like everything else in Illinois, my inner voice is screaming at me that this is a bad idea...
