A senior who went to Vancouver General Hospital for a diagnosis and treatment after experiencing sudden pain was offered euthanasia by a doctor – before the woman had even been asked what was wrong with her.
“I am 84 years old, and a year ago, an amazing thing happened,” Miriam told Amanda Achtman, the founder of the Dying to Meet You Project. “When I got out of bed one morning, I was suddenly in excruciating pain, so much so that my daughter came running in from another room.”
“She called an ambulance,” Miriam said. “Off I went to the Vancouver General Hospital, and I was approached by a young lady doctor. The very first words out of her mouth [were]: ‘We would like to offer you MAID.’ I was taken aback—that was the last thing on my mind! I just wanted to find out why I was in pain! I did not want to die!”
Miriam had not asked for euthanasia. She had not even asked about euthanasia. She had not yet received a diagnosis. But still, she was offered a lethal injection that would kill her immediately – in all likelihood, simply because she is an elderly woman.
This deadly ageism that infects Canada’s healthcare system, combined with our ever-expanding euthanasia regime, has turned many medical facilities into genuinely dangerous places for the vulnerable.
“I was a month in hospital, came home, recuperated nicely enough that I could take some trips,” Miriam said. “Off I went last year to Cuba – before the problems today in Cuba – and then, this just recently, I have been to Mexico and Guatemala. My recovery has been amazing, and there was no need for MAID to even be suggested.”
Achtman’s video of Miriam’s testimony has gone viral on X, racking up over a quarter of a million reposts and accruing more than 3,300 reposts.
“Physician assisted killing creates a structure of sin which amplifies so many other evil cultural biases which push towards discarding the vulnerable,” ethicist Charlie Camosy stated in response to the video. “Ageism and ableism are foremost among them.”
“Stop pushing medically facilitated death on those who aren’t asking for it,” Conservative MP Garnett Genuis tweeted. “Visit https://carenotcoercion.ca to find out more about my bill C-260.” Bill C-260, the “Preventing Coercion of Persons Not Seeking Medical Assistance in Dying Act,” was tabled as a Private Member’s Bill by Genuis in February, and would make it illegal to proactively offer euthanasia:
This enactment amends the Criminal Code to make it an offence for certain persons in certain circumstances to initiate a discussion with a person about the availability to them of medical assistance in dying, knowing that they have not specifically requested to have such a discussion.
“My mother, at roughly the same age as this woman, had kidney failure, after which her first dialysis was excruciating,” another Canadian wrote. “Dialysis shouldn’t hurt & nobody knew why it had. She refused any further treatment, chose to die instead. But her longtime primary care doc talked her out of it. ‘Now Pat, do you want to die?’ ‘Well, no.’ He persuaded her to try a second dialysis, which went fine, no pain, and she had another year… of good life.”
“He gave that year to her and to us. Today, in Canada, she would have been euthanized same day.”

Audience: How ugly was she?
Canada under Liberals they treat you like a Dog and put you too sleep so they can collect your Organs
Between the vaxxes, abortions, and euthanasia, doctors are just licensed mass murderers anymore.
They have to ask first?
I can confidently say that no matter what ailment the lady has the Canadian medical community has an INSTANT remedy for it. And I’m guessing it’s probably economical as well. Take the treatment once and you’ll never need it again. LOL.
The essence of the problem is that there aren’t enough euthanasia, much less anywhere except Muslim countries, so we have to get rid of the old farts fast to balance the population.
(Making Satan happy is simply a serendipitous side effect for the demonic among us.)
How much of a Bonus does the Dr get for killing someone ?
Canada imports turds who hate Whitey as medical staff. Last I saw about 50% of all medical staff in Canada are foreign born.
Wouldn’t think much of a market for 84-year-old organs.
Love that socialist state-run health care!
It covers you from cradle to grave.
And if the grave doesn’t come quickly enough for them, they’ll help you get there.
You’ll never know , discount organs
I agree 100% with the premise of your comment, although I don’t know if harvesting organs is a significant contributing factor in that age group. That said, there’s generally no age cut off for organ donors, and the decision is generally based on the health/functionality of the organ.
Replacement theory or just the usual socialized medicine cost cutting?
Also the Liberals have replacements for these Canadians from the Third World so they want these Canadians out now
I didn’t mean to disparage the woman. The situation called to mind an old Rodney Dangerfield joke.
So apparently Sarah Palin WAS wrong about the death panels.
They don’t even use panels - just death.
