@MushtaqBilalPhD @aufliebeundtod So fast you have access to a model three generations in the future.

When might daughter was 4, the lady working the polls wouldn't given her an "I voted" sticker because "You are too young to vote," which I thought was stupid. My daughter then asked for *my* sticker, and I told her no because the sticker belonged to me.

@d08890 Dude’s got nothing to lose!

[Patrick Garon-Sayegh, legal science interrogator @JuriScience]

@ANNVYSHINSKY Purely rationalist approaches to ethics are like highly enriched uranium: highly dangerous and arguably bad, especially when freely distributed for public consumption.

… key people in CAMAP are all-in zealous DwD lobbyists moonlighting as educators.
Not to be underestimated.

[Patrick Garon-Sayegh, legal science interrogator @JuriScience]

Also, the devious intelligence they’ve displayed is impressive. It’s formally true that CAMAP doesn’t lobby. That’s what DwD does. But the overlap in personnel is striking. So Green can say “we’re nice evidence-based neutral people, not lobbyists” without lying. But many…

This is a good sign, actually. It shows their desperation to control the message. That is what they’ve done so well so far thanks to top-shelf PR. But it’s getting harder now that they are being moderately scrutinized.
And still, the slick language is so skillful.

@ChristophLyon Thanks for the added precision.

[Patrick Garon-Sayegh, legal science interrogator @JuriScience]

Not surprised. CAMAP has long been conveniently exploiting nonprofit position: get public $$$ from brainwashed public servants, brandish private entity status to control access to information.
Their PR people are so good they could work for big-oil, big-tobacco or the NRA.

[Ramona Coelho @rljcoelho]

Parliament asked CAMAP for the curriculum to train MAID assessors for mental illness.

The organization said it’s “impossible” to provide it—and won’t make it public.

Health Canada gave 3.3 million dollars to CAMAP for its curriculum development.

Transparency shouldn't be optional.

children will eventually be tax paying adults that support your social security and become your doctors and nurses when you are old. puppets will not.

@mssinenomine Apt aphorism.

[Patrick Garon-Sayegh, legal science interrogator @JuriScience]

@mssinenomine So much money. So little taste.

Quoting snakes who says such things while revelling in being all high and mighty about “evidence.” Yet when someone like Dr. Coelho comes with contradicting accounts using the EXACT SAME FORM (i.e. professional experience) they start yelling “Anecdotes! Anecdotes!”

“The patient feels nothing other than comfort and sleep,” says (Dr Stephanie) Green. “There is no gasping, there is no choking, there is no coughing. It’s a peaceful, comfortable, witnessed death.” https://t.co/gn7zw0gNX4

@MushtaqBilalPhD It’s very cool because it helps to flesh out (with the idea of “remainder humanism”) some of the anxieties that might be informing pushback against your stance. I think it also charts constructive paths to go forward (at least in part).

[Patrick Garon-Sayegh, legal science interrogator @JuriScience]

@pschofie79 Yeah I mean it’s clear you were either being utterly unreasonable or joking. I only assign 500–1000 pages a week, and even then I still get groans of discontent and whining in my course evaluations.

[Tyler Austin Harper @Tyler_A_Harper]

I wrote about the Pope and why Christian tech critics often have a more compelling response to the AI crisis than their secular counterparts. Simply, Christian writers aren't afraid of "human nature" talk, and they understand THE question of the AI Age is: what are people for? 🧵

[Patrick Garon-Sayegh, legal science interrogator @JuriScience]

Also, this is a shameful rule of law failing. Lack of scrutiny re: how the Criminal Code is interpreted/ applied when killing people is a stain on all ministries of justice, medical colleges, professors & parliamentarians who enthusiastically support expansion & status quo.

[Ramona Coelho @rljcoelho]

"Why are you so concerned about MAiD?"

Because a lack of access to care, failure to provide treatment and support, and discrimination based on age, disability, poverty, or other vulnerabilities can influence a person's request for MAiD and also unconsciously affect the MAiD provider's decision to approve them. Choices are not made in a vacuum.

Because I've been notified of cases that troubled me enough to report.

Because families have described traumatic deaths.

Because MAiD protocols have not always been followed.

Because a man in his 40s was approved for MAiD after a single assessment at a Tim Hortons despite untreated addiction and mental illness.

They're real people who matter.
