I am not sure what "death squads" you are referring to, but I am happy to live in Canada where Medical Assistance in Dying MAiD is legal and covered by hour health care system.
There has been one gap in its application which has been under federal review. Up until now, a person has to be capable of giving permission at the date of their death, which means a person with mental decline is not considered to be eligible. The Bill is to allow Advance Directives, where a person can make the decision while mentally healthy/capable and have that stand when the time comes.
Currently, my SIL is Medical POA, she is a physician and has assured me she will act in my best interests when the time comes. Within the law of the time of course.
I hope to go like my hubby's grandma, 99 years old, in reasonably good health, sharp as a tack, one second standing in the kitchen laughing at some corny joke, the next on the floor, dead of a massive heart attack. No suffering, no lingering. Hopefully the creator, in his mercy, will take me the same way.
