Leftist policies start out seemingly reasonable and compassionate before they become totally monstrous. Initially, there are sympathetic test cases, they started out with arguing that raped 12-year-olds should be able to get an abortion, and then before you know, it’s partial-birth abortion for bored celebrities. Euthanasia was supposed to help those with fatal illnesses suffering a great deal of pain. And then, in typical fashion, it morphed into killing teenagers and the depressed.

Where to in the Great North? How about killing the homeless and the poor?

Half of Canadians would agree to allow adults in Canada to seek medical assistance in dying due to an inability to receive medical treatment (51%) or a disability (50%). Fewer than three-in-ten would consent to expand the guidelines to include homelessness (28%) or poverty (27%) as reasons to seek medical assistance in dying.

Canadians are split when pondering if mental illness should be a justification for an adult to seek medical assistance in dying: 43% support this idea, while 45% are opposed.

If anyone thinks that ideology is just specific to young Canadians, they live in Fantasy Land.

We’ve seen this movie before. How long until the Canadian government starts mandating it for selected people? That’s where this is going.

Interesting.

Hitler had a program for euthanizing children with disabilities. IIRC, the program was called Tiergartenstrasse 4 (T4) after the street where the program’s office was located in Berlin.

Hitler also had a program for euthanizing disabled grownups who were costing the state money for their care in institutions.

Beat me to it. At least Swift’s essay was supposed to be satire. We’re taking it literally. Soylent Green, here we come.

Wait! What? The CCP is already doing it?

Never mind.
