As a healthcare worker who has administered narcotics all my career, this is such a disturbing article. “Harm reduction “ in the medical field is making sure you only administer a dose of narcotics that relieves pain, not enough to stop breathing. You can’t always relieve all the pain or a person will stop breathing. So I would be considered negligent if I gave too much narcotics to a person just because they thought they needed it.
I know addiction is complicated but this whole program seems upside down. No one is helping someone by aiding their addiction. This used to be called enabling. They are sick and their addiction is bringing down the community they live in. And taxpayers are paying for this??
In my humble opinion “harm reduction” is facilitating killing these people.
