An elderly Canadian woman was killed by her doctor because she would rather be dead than go through another COVID lockdown. When it looked like she would have to be confined to her room for two weeks, she asked for — and received — the lethal jab due to declining mental health and vitality. From the CTV story:
Nancy Russell, described by her family as exceptionally social and spry, was one such person. Her family says she chose a medically-assisted death (MAID) after she declined so sharply during lockdown that she didn’t want to go through more isolation this winter…
This time, doctors approved her. Russell would not have to go through another lockdown in her care home. “She just truly did not believe that she wanted to try another one of those two-week confinements into her room,” her daughter said.
But note, for her death, she could be surrounded by friends and family!
When 90-year-old Nancy Russell died last month, she was surrounded by friends and family. They clustered around her bed, singing a song she had chosen to send her off, as a doctor helped her through a medically-assisted death.
So companionship to be made dead but not to remain alive. And her family thinks this was a fine option, demonstrating how the social mindset becomes twisted by euthanasia consciousness.
But, we are told, killing to end suffering is oh soooo compassionate! And lockdowns are measures of good public health! Bah!
Those with eyes to see, let them see.

Wake up. It’s not only Dumb Dumbs that are pulling this crap. Maryland languishes under Lockdown Larry Hogan and Ohio languishes under Mike Karen DeWine.
No radio or TV in the room for diversion?
“Zeke Emanuel would be proud of the ladies choice. He wants all people over 75 to die this way”.
Emanuel is a Demon. He’s one of many who are too numerous to count.
You are correct, we need a return to the old ways of looking after our own families.
“Nancy Russell, described by her family as exceptionally social and spry,” “Her family says she chose a medically-assisted death (MAID) after she declined so sharply during lockdown that she didn’t want to go through more isolation this winter… “
I’m wondering why her family didn’t get her out of there last time or want to this time?
if you want to commit suicide, then don't expect others to do it....just do it yourself....
I’ve been saying this for awhile - we need to have an ICD-10 diagnosis to add for Covid LOCKDOWN. They have one for everything else.
A very reasonable stance. Speed the spread of that.
// The family ever think maybe they should have made a place for her at
// their own house? You know, like humans have done for thousands of years
You forget that for thousands of years Man was Master of the Household. His Word and his Will mattered. It is no longer so, at least in most of what is called the West. And even “Master” now is a dirty word.
The Patriarchial Family is dead. Dead along with it are multigenerational living arrangements and many other “taken for granted” things that the Patriarchial Way of Life enabled and nurtured for millennia.
Try to bring multigenerational living arrangements back now, it will terribly strain and destroy many so called modern marriages, where Karens can simply walk away at will, aided and abetted by the family court, while sucking the buck (cuck, cuck!) dry.
I speak from experience here.
Bring back the Patriarch and we can talk. For that to happen, unfortunately, another kind of Great Reset needs to happen (not what the elites have in mind). It is very unlikely barring any global “slate wiper” type of event (COVID ain’t it).
Maximum security prison cells can have a TV too. Still no substitute for human contact.
“You can’t see your family and friends ever again unless you let us kill you.”
Modernity...
I wonder what the Windsors have to say about all this?
No it wasn’t. We can’t know the despair these poor people are going through. And don’t tell me about their duty to live or bring religion into it.
I agree with that logic, but we don’t know what the real circumstances were on doing that. Taking care of a older citizen also might be more than most can handle, easy to criticize.
I take care of a 94 year old Aunt so I know what I talking about.
Unless she had a painful terminal illness this was an execution
L
Your cruel and disgusting.
Easy to say, for this woman and others no social contact is a hell unto itself.
Apart from bringing the economy to its knees there are delayed diagnoses (cancer,heart disease,etc),alcohol abuse,drug abuse,domestic violence,child abuse,suicides,bankruptcies...
Everyone seems to be accepting the family’s claims about why she accelerated her timeline and asked to have this done NOW instead of at some indeterminate time in the future.
I’m going to stick with my story that she was just a loser who was pampered through life by a socialist system that made her incapable of facing even a minimal type of hardship.
Shouldn't that be "MAD"?
