Good old-fashioned Canadian practicality!

“This emerging practice arouses astonishment and questions among professionals involved in end-of-life care,” the newspaper breathlessly reported. The funeral home’s proprietor says he didn’t speak to his own mother for a month as a result of his providing this service.

Indeed, itto the effect that MAID would be available wherever a person wants to receive it, subject to regulatory approval — presumably including at funeral homes. But it also wants to ban charging or advertising for any MAID-related service .Commercializing death … in funeral homes. Canada’s MAID debate has featured some properly wacky arguments, and that’s up there on the leader board.

It doesn’t translate at all. When health-care reformers argue for more private for-profit service delivery, the usual response is that it would necessarily weaken the universal public system. That’s usually at least theoretically true — but not here. This is just a regular doctor performing a house call; it just happens to be a house for funerals.
