Not the fact that she changed your diapers and woke up in the middle of the night and used to take you to playdates and listen to you speak in multiple different languages, even though you sounded like a lunatic and were rambling on about something you cared deeply about, like the school system or the yada, yada, blah, blah.

But she sat through all of that for you.

So why can't we do it to our level and sit through that with them?

And why is it that we can get access to same day death care?

But I can't get grandma a mushroom for her to sit in her feelings, in her thoughts with her loved ones and going, this is gonna be hard, but we're gonna be right there with you all the way through.

And we're gonna have access to the right pain care and the right medications.

So yeah, you may be a little groggy, but we're gonna hold your hand all the way through.

Why can't we do that?

And why have we accepted that?

Why have we accepted that we should be taking our family members and giving up?

Because that's what it is.

Like, that's the truth.

Like, look, if somebody requests it and they're 86 and they're in full compliance and understanding what they're doing, which most aren't, though, because there's always somebody whispering in the ear, whether it's a doctor or a family member or whatever.

So it's like it can never really be free will.

I don't believe it can be.

It's too baked into our society.

So one of the things that Alberta's new law is coming in that they're proposing and putting forward is stopping at track one, like you're talking about.

Stopping track two, making it so that you can't even advertise at a hospital anymore.

Because dying with dignity goes to the universities, the death doula programs, right?

And they do all of this.
