...the parents would not be informed until after the child dies.

Let that sink in.

How could anyone bring their child to such a place

But it is free. Isn’t that what we are told about how wonderful Canadian healthcare is?

Must make the national health care system solid so Canadians will stop coming down here to Florida for healthcare. Seniors next up!

I am afraid they would not like my response.

I would not like it either.

But it would be necessary.

Horrendous.

This can only be the product of an entirely materialistic mind.

What’s the point of having a hospital?

Think of all the money it would save the Canadian “free” healthcare system. Think of the parents who won’t have a sick child as a burden and could become a more productive member of society.

Hmmmm...... gives me an idea....

How ‘bout we get rid of all the other burdens against society... like the moochers.... like the people in prison... like the poor... like the members of government who remain in their positions for too long....

Ontario does not require parents to be involved in a capable minor's decision to refuse further treatment, therefore there is no legal reason to require parent involvement in an assisted death, according to the Sick Kids policy.

I didn’t see in the article a definition of Capable Minor.

Who decides who is a Capable Minor? What are the criteria?

Hey doc, this kid is costing the health care system about $50K a day do you think he’s Capable?

Oh, sure he is. Schedule him for termination Tuesday. I’ll get his consent.

This is awful. I can’t imagine how any parent would feel to find out after the fact that the hospital euthanized their child. Can you imagine?

I have a couple questions that lead to another concern? What is the age of consent to being able to make this decision. Who is to say that the patient was given the proper information that they could understand? Who is to say the child really agreed?

Remember when we were told that death panels were not part of socialized health care and they called us lunatics?

These people are frigging subhuman.

All bad, but the line that is perhaps most troubling is “...and patients who have expressed a preference for euthanasia before they were rendered incapable by Alzheimer’s...”. So it isn’t assisted suicide anymore in certain cases?!? Flat-out killing people? I guess with socialized medicine you need a back-up plan!
