Candice Was Pressured to Kill Herself in an Assisted Suicide Because She Has Cerebral Palsy
Lifenews ^ | 10/11/17 | Kevin Dunn

Wherever you stand on the issue, it’s impossible to ignore the cultural shift in attitude towards euthanasia and assisted suicide. What was once considered murder under the law is now being accepted as medical ‘treatment’ in many countries. However, even the most ardent promoters of these laws are now saying the ‘genie is out of the bottle’ and are severely questioning where these laws have taken society.

We’ve all heard the tragic and much publicized stories of people who died by an assisted death. Tragic indeed. However, this film will focus on stories seldom heard in mainstream media: testimonies from those whose lives have been dramatically affected by a culture that sees ‘killing’ as a form of ‘caring.’ To be clear, the pro-euthanasia lobby cringes when I use words like ‘murder’ or ‘killing’ in my interviews. One group asked me not to use the term ‘assisted suicide’ as it might offend. One national broadcaster didn’t want me using the term ‘euthanasia’. However, I prefer to stay away from euphemisms when dealing with such important issues as life and death. Especially after hearing stories such as Candice’s.

In this first sneak preview, we travel to St. Anthony, Newfoundland, Canada to interview 25 year old Candice Lewis and her mother Sheila Elson. Here they tell me how, during emergency hospital stay, doctors tried to pressure Candice into to an assisted death. One year later, Candice – who lives with Cerebral Palsy – is back doing what she loves most, painting and spending time with her family.

If trying to bully someone into committing suicide isn't a crime it should be.

The Nazis thought killing the disabled was a great idea. And today’s “progressives” think killing the disabled is a great idea.

Yet another example of how progressives behave like Nazis.

Right to Die quickly becomes Duty to Die.

Anyone with a brain could see this coming.

“doctors tried to pressure Candice into to an assisted death”

This is horrible. Those doctors should not be practicing medicine.

Was Candace’s mother among those hoping she would agree to offing herself? If so, it could be that her mom has been the main caregiver for her daughter and is presently exhausted, both physically and mentally. I know nothing about whether this has been the case. I have seen this scenario before with other people. If the young lady still has the will and desire to go on, she may benefit by moving into a care facility if their insurance will cover some of the costs.

The big question is who is pressuring these doctors to become not healers, but to become accessories to a murder.

With government running and “paying for” medicine pressure for assisted suicide or murder of patients who will continue to need medical resources for the duration of their lives will get intense and taking a CP patient to the hospital gets dangerous just because now the government makes the decisions and they don’t necessarily have to consult with the family or the patient. It works that way for the elderly, too. After a certain age they are deemed nonproductive and the treatment available disappears. They are told there is no help for their conditions. Here, take these pain pills-if it hurts a lot take a lot.

Maybe you should take the time to look at the video at the link. The answer is a resounding NO! The doctor was the one who was trying to kill Candace.

Absolutely not. The video will make you angry at the “doctor” who somehow doesn’t think this precious and much loved young woman’s life is worth doing everything in his power to save. He’s a vile monster that should not be practicing medicine at all. He even tells the mother that he in favor of a law that allows him to kill his patients. He’s probably done so many abortions that human life has no meaning to him. These people are not doctors.

Because the “bullying” they are against is anti-homosexual peer pressure. Beating kids up for wearing the wrong pants or having braces, etc is still “ok” for those people. Seriously, look at some of those big names involved, for example see Lady Gaga, and what they were talking about right before and/or at the time they launched their effort was puberty perversions.

I noticed thatr too.

In about 2 weeks the anti-bullying campaign switched to a anti bullying of fags campaign, just like that, as if we would not notice.
