"Long COVID Sufferer in Canada Seeks Assisted Suicide: A Life Unbearable"
Tracey Thompson, a Canadian woman suffering from long COVID, has applied for assisted suicide through Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program. The debilitating effects of the disease have left her bedridden for most of the day, unable to perform basic tasks or enjoy life. Thompson, who has depleted her life savings and faces financial strain, applied to end her life primarily due to her circumstances rather than a desire to die. The MAiD program, which allows individuals with incurable diseases to choose euthanasia, has faced controversy as it expands to include more groups, including terminally ill minors.
