It is a far more slippery slope than most people want to admit.

Every person had a purpose in coming to earth, and only the God of the Bible has the authority as to when and how each person’s time here is up. As to birth and death, the government wants to usurp that power!
Euthanasia made its first widespread appearance in the West in Nazi Germany. Hitler thought it was a great idea to save the state money by killing off “useless eaters.”
In this day of big government healthcare, nothing could be more dangerous than this business of dying with dignity, which is to say, killing off the old and the handicapped in order to save the government money.
Money which they will use to pay for free healthcare for illegals, who can be counted on to vote for them.
It is illusory to think that big government can be separated from the moral issues. They want to control your money, and they can do so much more easily when they are in a position to control your lives.
I know this is a slippery slope, but having watched my grandfather for months slowly dieing while we stood by and could do nothing for the pain was horrible also.
I have stood outside abortion clinics and protested, but for a grown adult who wakes up every day wanting it to be their last due to unmanageable pain or a disease eating at their mind I believe that is a completely different topic. We all know that some doctors will help a patient along at the end, letting it be official is something a free society should consider.
Would not surprise me if Euthanasia was already legal in Canada.
More like walking along the edge of a cliff with a stiff breeze blowing.
As Robert Avrech remarked 5 years ago the “masks are coming
off” including the fiction of “personal autonomy” and
of designation of one’s “substitute decision maker”. The
fate of Joshua Kulendran Mayandy has been horribly under
and mis-reported.
