I don’t think I’d want to live in Canadia.
Right to Die = Duty to Die
Canada is now being flooded with Mexicans who don’t like New Yawk so the hospitals need those beds for non-Canadian, foreign nationals.
This is coming here soon. Satanism has taken control of the West.
PING!
Have you experienced any pressure on yourself or your family or your friends to agree to euthanasia??
The staff probably got a bonus for each victim they signed-up
I’m confused. Don’t we all have DNRs? I mean I believe none of us want machines living for us. Perhaps it’s different in Canada.
Well, by golly. Try that with any of my loved ones and we’ll all be on the evening news. Because it would be one hell of a bloody fight.
Isn’t free healthcare wonderful?
Once the patient is dead the cost is free
Yes, we have them, too. Some patients who are cognizant enough choose to sign their own DNRs.
Oh please, leave the Mexicans out of this. They have nothing to do with Canada’s inexplicable desire to rid itself of its own citizens.
There was a story just recently about someone who had gone through sexual transition surgery/therapy, and was so unhappy with the outcome that they wanted to seek medically assisted suicide.
Another person was offered it simply because they were disabled and had been seeking for years an accommodation to help her navigate her home.
Apparently, in Canada, it’s not just for people who are on life support.
If you’re old, you do not want to live in Canada.
The first thing they will ask you at an emergency room in Canada... ‘Would you like to be on the DNR (Do not resuscitate) list?’ The second thing they will ask you is... ‘Would you like to be on the DNR list?’ The third question they will ask you is... ‘Would you like to be on the DNR list?’
No concrete proof, but I’m pretty sure they give nurses bonus pay for everybody they can get on a DNR list.
My father went to a hospital in 2015 when he was 85... They asked dozens of times whether or not he wanted to be on a DNR list... Being a good catholic he said no every time and they operated on him to implant a pacemaker later that day... He lived for about another two and half years... Dying a month or two short of being 88.
He enjoyed every minute of his life as much as he could, and as everybody should.
I’m glad your father lived that much longer. It isn’t up to medical institutions to decide when our quality of life is no longer good enough for us.
I have a friend whose mother is in a ‘home’, and she doesn’t recognize anyone anymore. He feels bad about this and believes she has no more real life.
I tell him that he has no idea what real life she is still living within. It’s nobody’s right to decide FOR her to take that away.
There ya go, eh?!
They do the same here.
“I don’t think I want to live in Canada.”
Lucky for you, the Canadian government will help you get your wish.
You’ve been misinformed. Never sign a DNR.
This reminds me of a TNG Star Trek episode where Lwaxana Troi falls in love with Timicin, a scientist who is attempting to test his theories of stellar ignition in the hopes of saving his world’s dying star. The experiment fails, and Lwaxana encourages Timicin to continue his research. But as he is about to turn sixty years of age, he prepares instead for a ritual suicide.
According to Timicin’s cultural tradition, his people voluntarily choose euthanasia to prevent the aged from becoming a burden to the younger generation.
This episode “Half a Life” tells me that liberal Gene Roddenbery and writers of this plot suspected - or hoping - such concept will be coming eventually.
