The workers who make Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering are unionizing. The teams behind these famous games would join United Wizards of the Coast, a union established earlier this year by Magic: The Gathering Arena developers in partnership with the Communication Workers of America.

This perspective is at the front of my mind during any assisted dying conversation. If people *already* aren't being taken care of, assissted dying becomes the path of least resistance for any state. An abandonment of duty to actively care for its struggling people.
