Canada Issues Booklet Explaining Assisted Suicide to Children
Live Action ^ | 9/13/22 | Laura Nicole

In a disturbing example of propaganda directed at children, a new activity booklet published this year in Canada teaches impressionable young minds about assisted suicide, painting it in a positive and desirable light.

Published by Virtual Hospice Canada and partially funded by Canada’s health ministry, the book is titled, Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) Activity Book and is available online. In the “Information for adults” section, the book states its target audience is children ages 6-12 who have someone with a terminal illness in their life. Although it purports to give children tools and vocabulary for addressing this topic, the pro-euthanasia activity book clearly attempts to normalize euthanasia by describing how it works and making it seem a natural and innocuous medical procedure. The book also contains activities designed to ensure children thoroughly digest the book’s rosy presentation of euthanasia.

Since Canada legalized assisted suicide in 2016, the number of people who have taken their own lives under the law has risen steadily. As Live Action News reported, a whopping 3.3% of all deaths in 2021 resulted from assisted suicide or euthanasia – approximately same percentage of people who die in the United States from diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. This represented a 32% increase over the previous year. And while assisted suicide is presented as a last resort – one that ignores the potential for palliative care – Canadians have sought to end their own lives for hearing loss, financial strain from long COVID, medical mismanagement, and a lack of access to medical care.

Some of the core themes in this children’s euthanasia activity book include how being euthanized does not hurt (see claims to the contrary here), and that a person choosing to commit suicide does so after a long and........

Isn't that special! Maybe they will distribute the guides on the indian reservations too, places which already have the highest suicide rates in the world.

Liberals are driven by the demonic.

It’s the only explanation for their obsession with death.

An informative pamphlet on how politicians and social busybodies can off themselves is clearly needed.

The death cultists wouldn’t have it any other way.

article contains link to the following:

“The death penalty is not the same as assisted dying, of course. Executions are meant to be punishment; euthanasia is about relief from suffering,” he admitted. “Yet for both euthanasia and executions, paralytic drugs are used. These drugs, given in high enough doses, mean that a patient cannot move a muscle, cannot express any outward or visible sign of pain. But that doesn’t mean that he or she is free from suffering.”

“Wellons’s autopsy revealed that his lungs were profoundly congested with fluid, meaning they were around twice the normal weight of healthy lungs,” he said. “He had suffered what is known as pulmonary edema, which could only have occurred as he lay dying. Wellons had drowned in his secretions. Yet even my medical eye detected no sign of distress at his execution.”

”Zivot isn’t wrong about the horror of assisted suicide, as medical researchers are slowly learning. A study in the medical journal Anaesthesia analyzed data from the Netherlands and found that prolonged, painful deaths from assisted suicide and euthanasia were far from rare, with a third of patients taking 30 hours to die. A small number — 4% — took seven days to die. Various experiments with people killed by assisted suicide have been painful as well, with one drug cocktail reportedly “burning patients’ mouths and throats, causing some to scream in pain.” The same drugs that are considered too risky and experimental to be used for lethal injection are used in assisted suicide.”

“If assisted suicide organizations like Compassion & Choices were more honest about what people would face and how patients would be killed — using the same drugs as inmates on Death Row — would it still be anywhere near as popular?”

“For the love of God.”

That does not exist amongst the ‘wokesters’ who occupy positions in GouvFedCan. True-dolt et al., are satan’s pets, whether they know it or not.

I remember the pokey puppy book, and the Seuss books too.

Even the Richard Scarry books and of course the earliest and most widely read computer science book.

‘The story about Ping’

According to one section, “people might ask for MAiD if their illness or disability will not cause their body to die, but it causes too much pain or suffering for them to keep living with it, and there is no way to make the illness or disability get better or go away,” and “the medicines [used in euthanasia] help them feel comfortable and peaceful.”

“Helps them feel comfortable and peaceful”... it kills them! Children don’t understand the permanence of death.

I have no problem with assisted suicide, if done for logical reasons.
