If suicide is illegal, it sends the message that you're not supposed to kill yourself. Someone who opposes the system is tempted to kill themselves out of spite. It is a message of rejection.
MAID legitimizes killing yourself. Especially if your therapist tells you to seek Canadian Healthcare. MAID changes suicide from defiance into submission, thus, theoretically, disproportionately killing the submissive.
The opposition is encouraged to live, out of sheer spite. Insofar as true dissidence exists, MAID saves the lives of suicidal dissidents.
As with every program, this government program is designed to backfire. The exception is that normally the backfire is intended to be harmful, whereas in this case, it is helpful.

Captchas should be off. If it gives you one anyway, it's against my explicit instructions.
