A stunning report out of Canada reveals a physician is now under investigation over the death of a man he met outside a coffee shop.

It seems the man was depressed and had been diagnosed with a bowel disease, so the doctor took him to a hospital to be given assisted suicide.

According to a report at the Daily Mail, James MacLean, the physician, now is under mandatory clinical supervision for six months.

He's accused of improperly delivering Canada's assisted suicide program, Medical Assistance in Dying, to that man and another.

"MacLean was investigated after he approved Thomas Dillon, who had Crohn's disease, for euthanasia. Dillon, 45, was deemed eligible for MAID by MacLean and a nurse practitioner due to his condition, which led to persistent complications with a colostomy bag, according to medical records obtained by the Globe and Mail," the report said.

He also was depressed and had been involved in alcohol abuse, the report said.

MacLean met Dillon outside a Tim Hortons, and the man was put on a track for assisted suicide not because he was expected to die soon, but because the disease causes suffering.

The doctor later drove Dillon to a morgue to die.

The report said a second case accused MacLean of botching an assisted death by failing to administer a vital drug that paralyzes the body's muscles, authorities said…

Fake news - it’s impossible to be depressed after going to Tim Horton’s.

Pretty soon, they will be putting people to sleep for toothaches.

A: "He looked kinda 'outta sorts' to me that day, so I thought that I would 'do him a solid' and relieve him of his pain."

B: "But you aren't even a medical doctor!"

A: "Don't need to be a doctor to swing a baseball bat!"

The language used here is Orwellian... he was “given assisted suicide.” They make it sound like just another treatment option, you know, like taking an aspirin.

95% of MAID deaths are White. Apparently it’s a terminal condition.

Could you please substantiate that claim? I've been doing a lot of Internet research on the subject, but have had absolutely no luck "teasing" the racial/ethnic disaggregation out!

The Canadian govt. denies collecting racial/ethnic data on the honorees victims.

A total of 15,927 people who received MAID responded to the question on racial, ethnic or cultural identity. The vast majority (95.6%) identified as Caucasian (White). The second most commonly reported racial, ethnic or cultural identity was East Asian (1.6%). These percentages are close to those reported for 2023 (95.8% Caucasian; 1.8% East Asian).

It's in the very first section titled HIGHLIGHTS. If you scroll down to MINISTER'S MESSAGE, you've passed it.

Once you allow for euthanasia, it quickly gets out of control.

I always thought euthanasia meant Chinese teenagers.

I’m guessing they filled out the survey before they took the pill or whatever.
