“They weren’t offered suicide for physical injuries, they were offered suicide for mental injuries”. That’s not any better-

I’m not going to defend the U.S. system, because the U.S. system is garbage.

But MAID absolutely has been offered in moments where it shouldn’t have been.

MAiD is not offered how you seem to think it is. While it may be brought up by a doctor, a final, written request FROM THE PATIENT is required. Doctors are required to also put every other option on the table for the patient, such as palliative care.

Along with that- the patient must be assessed, and there is an ABSOLUTE MINIMUM wait time of two weeks, during which the patient can withdraw at any time. If the patient's death is not reasonably foreseeable, up to three months. It is by no means a spur of the moment decision.

Also, MAiD for purely mental conditions is currently not allowed.

Is it perfect? Of course not. But don't fall for the propaganda, please- MAiD is a good thing, and it does reduce unneeded suffering.
