It’s very very expensive up here and requires a ton of travel at a young age.

It is not uncommon(around here anyway) for the patient to be prescribed morphine and ativan very 2 hours on an alternating basis.

Controlling symptoms of terminal agitation/anxiety and dyspnea to alleviate suffering is completely different than euthanasia and I’m sure you know that already.

MAID

Calling physician assisted suicide medical aid in dying is absurd.

Physicians aid patents in the dying process frequently to control symptoms and provide comfort. That’s not the same thing as killing them.

I think if you played 1,000 simulations of 5-on-5 and 1,000 of 3-on-3, the U.S. would fare better in the 5-on-5 against Canada than the U.S. would fare in 3-on-3… but I also think it lends more to random breakaways / odd-man rushes that we could capitalize on, and based on how this game has gone so far, 3-on-3 might be U.S.’s best chance today.
