MAiD Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide

OTTAWA – The senator who pushed for Canada’s assisted dying regime to include people whose only condition is a mental disorder says the debate about that policy is now over.

“The issue of expansion has already been decided upon,” said Stan Kutcher, who sits with the Independent Senators Group.

As far as Kutcher is concerned, the what was determined two years ago, when his arguments in the Senate convinced the Liberal government to move forward with an expansion of eligibility.

EXPOSED: Euthanasia in Canada is now disguised as palliative care

Canada’s disturbing slide into offering euthanasia as standard medical practice marks another disconcerting milestone in the degradation of civil society. Even in cases where a person is not deemed terminally ill, Canadian patients and their guardians are now proffered the option of accepting and accelerating their deaths—all in the name of mercy.

The Belgian state has once again authorised the killing of a prisoner, 105 years after its last peacetime execution.

Geneviève Lhermitte was an infamous murderer. She killed her son and four daughters, aged between three and 14, in Nivelles, Belgium on 28 February 2007. On 28 February 2023, she was euthanised, after she successfully invoked her ‘right to die’.

Last month, one of many Super Bowl ads called on Americans to say “Thank You” to Canada for all it has contributed to our world.

Unfortunately, one of those contributions is a disturbing devotion to euthanasia.

Euthanasia is defined as the intentional killing of a patient suffering from an “incurable and painful disease” or in an irreversible coma. The practice is still illegal in most countries; Canada is an exception.

Treat human life as anything less than sacred, and humanity is rapidly dehumanized.

Canada’s MAiD, like all medical homicide programs, is the metaphorical foot in the door, an obstinate wedge, breaking the seal of a once-closed divider. Or we call it what it is (genocide), and MAiD is like an axe-wielding Jack Nicholson in The Shining.

Now that the federal government has introduced a bill to delay implementing psychiatric MAID – assisted dying for people whose sole underlying condition is a mental illness – this is a good time to step back and reflect on how Canada got here. Last week’s release of a joint parliamentary committee’s report on MAID only adds to the need for such reflection.

Parents should be consulted “where appropriate,” states the document, but the will of the child would “ultimately take priority.”

On Wednesday, a parliamentary committee report, presented for discussion in the House of Commons, recommended that Canada should expand doctor-assisted suicide to include “mature minors”—teenagers as young as 12, who are ‘capable of making decisions concerning their health’—and patients with mental illnesses, currently not covered by the law. The report also called for providing the opportunity of “advance requests” for people with serious illnesses, such as dementia, that could, later on, hinder their ability to consent to euthanasia.

Canada’s assisted dying laws should be expanded to include minors, a parliamentary committee has recommended in a report tabled in the House of Commons.

After hearing from nearly 150 witnesses and reviewing more than 350 briefs on Canada’s medically assisted dying (MAiD) program, the special joint committee of MPs and senators concluded that minors deemed to have the appropriate decision-making capacity should be eligible for assisted death.

His pronouncements could hardly sound more drastic.

In interviews and public appearances, Yusuke Narita, an assistant professor of economics at Yale, has taken on the question of how to deal with the burdens of Japan’s rapidly aging society.

“I feel like the only solution is pretty clear,” he said during one online news program in late 2021. “In the end, isn’t it mass suicide and mass ‘seppuku’ of the elderly?” Seppuku is an act of ritual disembowelment that was a code among dishonored samurai in the 19th century.

Over 1500 of Canada’s publicly funded psychiatrists, pediatricians, medical professors, and general practitioners have joined an organization to fight the government’s expansion of medical assistance in dying (MAID). In March 2023, patients suffering from conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, or any other mental affliction will gain access to the lethal injection.

Oregon has become America’s first ‘death tourism’ destination, where terminally ill people from Texas and other states that have outlawed assisted suicide have started travelling to get their hands on a deadly cocktail of drugs to end their lives, DailyMail.com can reveal.

In the liberal bastion Portland, at least one clinic has started receiving out-of-staters who have less than six months to live and meet the other strict requirements of the state’s Death with Dignity (DWD) law.

Dr Nicholas Gideonse, the director of End of Life Choices Oregon, recently told a panel that he was advising terminally ill non-residents on travelling to Oregon to end their lives, despite a legal gray area.

OTTAWA – Canadians whose sole condition is a mental disorder will not be eligible for a medically assisted death for another year under legislation introduced in the House of Commons Thursday.

Justice Minister David Lametti introduced a bill seeking to delay extending the eligibility until March 17, 2024.

The Liberal government agreed to expand eligibility in its 2021 update to assisted dying law after senators amended the bill. The senators argued that excluding people with mental illness would violate their rights.

March huh? in time for Josef Mengeles Birthday?
