Woman seeks assisted suicide after growing sick of fighting protracted COVID

According to reports, a woman in Canada has asked for assisted suicide after losing the ability to appreciate simple things in life owing to her continued battle with extended COVID or post-COVID-19 problems. Tracey Thompson told DailyMail, “My quality of life with this illness is almost nonexistent; it’s not a good life.” I’m not doing anything. It’s excruciatingly boring.” According to the New York Post, the 55-year-old has spent roughly 22 hours every day in bed since contracting the new coronavirus in 2020, when it first spread throughout the globe.

Thompson has been living on the streets since losing her job shortly after testing positive for COVID-19, despite suffering from severe symptoms that have rendered her unable to read or even cook for herself. Thompson, a former professional chef, has spent her life savings on food, housing, and medical treatments, which have proven to be prohibitively expensive. Since testing positive for long COVID, the 55-year-old Toronto resident has been diagnosed with a variety of ailments, including myalgic encephalomyelitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and mast cell activation syndrome.

Thompson applied to Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program in December 2022, fearful that she would soon run out of money to support herself. Individuals are allowed to end their lives under this scheme if they have an incurable condition. MAiD became authorized for terminal patients in 2016, but it has subsequently been broadened to encompass those suffering from an “irreversible” and “intolerable” illness, disability, or disease despite not being near the end of their natural life. The program has been plagued with controversy since its inception, and it has only grown more so as it has expanded to include additional groups.

Canada recently attracted widespread criticism for considering including “terminally ill minors” on the eligibility list

Canada recently attracted widespread criticism for considering including “terminally ill minors” on the eligibility list. This proposal would allow those under the age of 18 to be killed, which is currently prohibited by law. In 2022, about 13,200 people died as a result of MAIDS. Long COVID refers to signs, symptoms, and illnesses that remain or develop after a COVID-19 infection. Long COVID-19 can cause a variety of symptoms that persist for weeks, months, or even years, but it does not impact everyone the same way. People who have long-term COVID-19, on the other hand, usually describe tiredness or fatigue, fever, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, fast-beating or pounding hearts, and changes in smell or taste, among other symptoms.
