I know multiple doctors involved in the panels that make these decisions and the people that have negative and abusive views towards drug addicts don't really get input into this process.
If you can find a panel of doctors stack full of fucking assholes who want addicted people to die. That's a different story, but I would argue the people I know involved in this processing. Canada albeit just a few of them are genuinely good people who don't judge you for the issues you're going through and just want you to be helped and at peace.
Yeah the risk with panels: look at the SCJ right now. Its supposed to be an ethics committee but almost all of them got in there doesn’t have a shred of ethics.
So if you’re relying on a panel of voted doctors It’s just a bribe away from complete negligence and apathy to human life over a slight inconvenience and $$.
