Canada’s ‘expert’ panel recommends the mentally ill be candidates for euthanasia
American Thinker ^ | 17 Jul, 2022 | Eric Utter

Canada’s medical assistance in dying (MAiD) law is already the most permissive euthanasia and assisted-suicide legislation in the world.

Understandably controversial in itself, there are many horror stories surrounding its implementation. For example, as lifesitenews.com recently reported,

A 71-year-old widower was admitted to a Southwestern Ontario hospital after a fall. His family says during his admission he contracted an infectious diarrheal illness. He was humiliated by staff for the smell of his room, his family said. He developed a new shortness of breath that was not comprehensively assessed. In this context, a hospital team member suggested he would qualify for MAiD. The team said he had end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and it was terminal. The patient was surprised by the diagnosis but trusted the team. Within 48 hours of his first assessment, he received a medically assisted death. Post-mortem testing showed he did not have end-stage COPD. His family doctor, when notified of his death, also stated he did not have end-stage COPD, but the team had failed to contact her when they were assessing his history.

Oops. Sorry.

First, do no harm? Respect for life? Canadian nice?

Nonetheless, the Great White North’s federal “expert” panel on MAiD has recommended mental illness be added to the list of maladies making one eligible for MAiD……apparently without any legislative changes. How nice, euthanasia by administrative fiat. What could go wrong?

That will teach those crazy VAX refusers a lesson that they won’t have time to forget!

Well then, Trudeau should be at the front of the line.

Their first candidates for MAiD should be their top tier of government.

Who gets to define mentally ill?

Isn’t this how Hitler got his start at genocide?

…and Trudeau will personally decide what degree of “not woke” will be the first to get nixed.

Wasn’t there a bunch of guys in Germany in the ‘30s and ‘40s doing the same thing? I just can’t seem to put my finger on what they called themselves though. Does anyone remember?

My comment directly to them would be; “Did you literally just state that every homosexual, transgender, cross dresser and pedophile should be candidates to be put to death without the possibly of treatment first?”

It is exactly what they are recommending.

If the response came back; “We didn’t mean those people, we meant *…”

My response would be; “Any preference for a last meal?”

“Isn't this how Hitler got his start at genocide?”

Yep. It was called Aktion T4.

It cleans up the “useless eaters” and helps the balance sheet.

There is such a small step from mercy killings to executing the merely inconvenient.
This is why we must not give them the tools for mass abuse.
