Canada’s ‘expert’ panel recommends the mentally ill be candidates for euthanasia

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?

Marrs was writing about America, but it applies to all Western societies.

"Let the democrats institute this and conservativism will be labeled a mental disorder."

That's pretty much how it worked in the USSR. Since Soviet Communism was considered to be scientifically perfect, anybody who objected to it, or thought they could conceive of a better form of government was considered delusional, but they didn't kill them right off, just shipped them to the gulags to get their minds right.

And add in anyone identifying as a Christian,anyone who isn’t registered as a Democrat...and the list could go on.

Just wait until the media and others start identifying Christians as Christian Taliban...and don’t think that someone in media hasn’t thought of doing that.
