Two days before her Christian grandmother’s assisted dying procedure in Ontario, Canada, Brigitte Kranendonk sat her down to make sure she knew exactly what was going to happen.
‘I used very frank terms. I said: “Do you know that you’re going to die on Friday?”'
The 83-year-old was in visible disbelief and began crying for 45 minutes. ‘I’ve made a mistake,’ Brigitte Stegemann, known affectionately to her family as ‘GG’ or ‘Oma’, wailed.
‘She was bawling. Inconsolable,’ Kranendonk, a real estate agent who shares the same first name with her late grandmother, tells the Daily Mail.
In a cognitive test, designed to ascertain whether she was sound of mind enough to consent to Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), Stegemann ‘got every question wrong’, believing her two living siblings to be dead, according to Kranendonk.
Yet 48 hours after she wept uncontrollably at the notion of MAiD, Stegemann is said to have died with her hands clasped in prayer, covered in her own blood due to a botched first attempt at connecting the IV, administered by a nurse allegedly not wearing gloves.
Kranendonk is currently in the process of desperately appealing to the Chief Coroner’s Office in Ontario, as well as the Patient Ombudsman and Belleville Police, in a bid to ascertain whether what happened the morning of July 10 at The Pearl care home in Cannifton was legal.
Bereaved and distraught, she claims MAiD practitioners took advantage of her grandmother’s vulnerability to perform the procedure, which she alleges was carried out without express consent.
‘She was a vulnerable human being, and they saw an opportunity,’ Kranendonk says, her rage and sadness visible.
She suspects the MAiD practitioners were inappropriately ideologically motivated, and believes the chain of events leading up to the procedure should be investigated.

Maybe you should read the article before you say more stupid stuff.
It’s a whole lot cheaper to kill them than take care of them.
It’s one way to reduce the cost of their out of control “free” healthcare system, leaves more room for illegal immigrants.
I would not be surprised to find out the people who carry out these assisted suicides are getting paid bonuses for achieving certain numbers of victims.
“There is no greater determinant of freedom and self-determinism than the ability to define your own medical care.”
There is no natural right to medical care.
Alternatively, government should never have the power to direct euthanasia.
Oh how civilized we are, post Christian and all. Progress! A new career for Lindsay Clancey?
This is already happening in America. Insurance/Government ban certain drugs (Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine) that could help or cure the patient. Not on the approved list. Death panels?? Waiting lists for doctors or specialists. Managing medicare is a nightmare. Hospice care for dementia and other age related ailments. Many times this consists of giving the patient opiods and continually increasing the dose til breathing slows then stops.
Dont fool yourself....It’s already here.
And, they remember the way things once were. Killing that inconvenient institutional memory of the old days is critical when fictionalizing history.
Nazis and Commies, any extreme leftists that manage to take over governments look on people as “productive units of labour” or as “useless eaters/leaches” to be removed/terminated (murdered).
it is always this way
just because Canada was once a nice friendly country with some moral standards ... means nothing today. Again, it is always like this ... what’s past is past.
Why is her religion important?
I didn’t say there was a natural right to medical care. I said that what you do for your health is a personal decision and the government should not be involved.
Murder. Nothing less.
OMG
Somwhy didnt they just take her out of that place. If its a matter of life and death, you do whats necessary for family, you’d think. Or be bringing a trusted family lawyer whos not death-crazed like the canadian system is, something...
So why did the girl leave grandma there?
In socialism, your value is based on your ability to contribute to society. When you can no longer do that, the socialists want to be rid of you. It’s their rationality of their malthusian values.
For the same reason that every other story has to tell us that is someone that is a jew or a mooselimb. The more unimportant facts you are fed, the more you can become enraged about a story that you mostly made up and told yourself.
(Sorry, apparently stroking out during edit. Just dont tell anyone.)
Will Canada kill muzzies and imported turds? Not likely. Just white people.
Sickening all around.
I can see when someone genuinely is in pain and wants to die to end it. Two friends died terribly from cancer and my aunt died from Pancreatic cancer. They had doctors that just kept them high as a kite on fentanyl patches for the pain. . But it sounds like some bureaucrat decided this woman was just too much trouble and decided to kill her.
I wonder how many imported muzzies are on these death panels.
And what reason is that?
Article was thoroughly reviewed and authorities and others are asking for an investigation. Seems you have made a stupid statement, try reading all words in the sentence especially those with more than 3 letters.
“The history of all euthanasia programs is that they start out voluntary and soon evolve into coercive involuntary execution.”
True. Euthanasia sounds good but becomes a tool for evil actors to dispose of people. Never approve of euthanasia.
