This is not a good argument for MAID, and I think there are countless dystopian sci-fi stories that exhibit this reasoning that I’d like to avoid (The Giver, Logan’s Run, Soylent Green, etc)

If we start looking at people who use MAID as selfless because they are “giving back to society”, and relieving the “financial burden”, what does that make people who choose to stick around? Are they selfish?

No one should be pressured or guilted into choosing an option like MAID - people are more than just balances on a spreadsheet.



To clarify, it's not an argument being made, it's an appreciation for the full extent of what they are doing.
