The inventor of the Sarco suicide pod is building a 'kill switch' implant which could allow dementia sufferers to seal the time of their death years in advance. Dr Philip Nitschke, whose controversial capsule ended an American woman's life in Switzerland last September, has told MailOnline that his newest device is nearing the testing phase. His plans have been labelled 'disturbing' by critics, who argue that enabling people to trigger their deaths with a simple switch could have serious consequences for individuals with various mental and physical health conditions. The mechanism would be sewn into a person's body - most...

WASHINGTON — President Trump signed an Executive Order Tuesday evening banning federal money from going toward child sex-change operations, referring to the procedures as “chemical and surgical mutilation” and calling the phenomenon of minors altering their sex a “dangerous trend.”

President Donald Trump signed a broad executive order targeting transition-related medical care for minors Tuesday. The order, titled “Protecting Children From Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” intends to restrict access to gender-affirming medical care — including puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgery — for minors, which it defines as those younger than 19. It prohibits federal funding from covering such care for minors, restricts research and education grants to medical schools and hospitals, and directs the secretary of Health and Human Services to issue regulations to end such care for minors. The order also directs all federal agencies to rescind guidance...

Life may never be the same for Los Angeles residents, with many losing their homes, belongings, and even family members. Hearts are bleeding across the nation as Californians endure a real-life nightmare. During such a devastating time, many wonder how to support those affected. Newsweek reached out to Claudia Giolitti-Wright, a licensed psychotherapist, to learn what not to do when trying to help. "When something terrible happens, people often try to look on the bright side or point out that someone else has it worse. Unfortunately, this approach isn't helpful—especially when lives have been completely turned upside down," Giolitti-Wright explained.

"All children deserve to grow up healthy and whole," a flyer for the event stated. "All parents deserve to make informed decisions to protect their children, without emotional blackmail by physicians blindsided by ideology." The Supreme Court on Wednesday will hear arguments in a case out of Tennessee regarding child sex changes. Outside the Washington, DC high court, detransitioners and others will speak out against the practice at an event called the Do No Harm rally. The rally will be hosted by Do No Harm, a nonprofit run by medical professionals who oppose child sex changes, to "stand up for...

An Israeli child has died three years after appearing with his father, who is a pediatrician, in a government film informing children that they have no choice about whether to take the COVID vaccine when it becomes available. Yonatan Erlichman was five years old at the time of the video, which was produced by Mateh Binyamin Regional Council, a regional government body. It aired as an episode in the government-run program, “Shushki in the Land of Binyamin,” "to entertain and educate” children. Shushki is a friendly puppet “child” who asks questions to prompt actual people to respond with “educational answers.”...

A group of 3,000 doctors and medical professionals is suing the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) over a mandate that broadens the term "sex" in federal civil rights statutes to include "gender identity" and "sexual orientation." The group argues that the rule, among other things, forces physicians who see Medicaid patients or receive federal funding to provide "gender-affirming" care to children who want to transition to the opposite sex. This includes prescribing hormone treatments and puberty blockers and performing surgery such as removing girls' breasts. The doctors challenging the rule say it will force them to provide...

This is one issue that I’ve been wrestling with here for several years now. For the longest time, Americans grew used to placing their trust in the medical profession. When you ran into a health problem, you went to see a doctor or perhaps get checked in at a hospital. While not all care is equal, actual doctors were assumed to know a lot more than the layman and were bound by a professional code of ethics to “do the right thing” and to “first do no harm.” They were far more trusted than politicians and for good reason. But...

Though two circuit courts have ruled that Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations compelling states to fund genital mutilation surgeries by health care providers are illegal, Secretary Xavier Becerra warned that he will withhold Medicaid funds from states that refuse to fund these surgeries. "President Biden has made it clear that he wants every transgender to have access to this life-saving therapy," Becerra said. "His will trumps objections to using public funds to perform what some are calling 'elective surgery.' I say if you're a female born with a penis instead of a vagina you need surgery to correct that...

In this episode of “Shocked? Me, Neither”…The American Medical Association (AMA) has all but flushed the Hippocratic Oath down the toilet with its pledge to ramp up its support for (pick one, or more): “cross-sex medical interventions,” “gender-affirming care,” “sex-change operations,” or the irreversible mutilation of children’s bodies.The AMA’s House of Delegates passed a resolution on Monday in support of “gender-affirming care” for “youths with gender identity issues,” according to the Endocrine Society, the sponsor of the resolution. In a press release titled “AMA strengthens its policy on protecting access to gender-affirming care,” the organization said:As political attacks on gender-affirming...

American medics and hospitals providing sex-swap drugs and surgeries for children have the support of the “highest levels of the Federal Government”, a senior official has said. The Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services, Rachel Levine, a man who lives as a woman, said “proactive outreach” is needed to “educate the public” that any opposition to ‘gender-affirming care’ is “ideologically and politically motivated”. He told staff at Connecticut Children’s Hospital to “push back” in their communities and schools when ‘gender-affirming care’ is questioned. ‘Dubious studies’Levine has previously criticised a law in Florida requiring teachers to inform parents when their...

A report obtained by The Tennessee Star, published by an organization of physicians, healthcare professionals, medical students, patients, and policymakers, reveals the pervasive infiltration of woke diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideologies in Tennessee medical school curricula and programs. The report from Do No Harm, titled “The DEI Bureaucracy in Tennessee’s Medical Schools: Woke Ideologies Are Reshaping Medical Education in the Volunteer State,” warns of vast implications for medical students and all who receive medical care in the state of Tennessee. ... Laura Morgan, MSN, RN, who authored the report for Do No Harm, told The Tennessee Star during an...

TORONTO – In a prestigious medical journal, doctors from Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children have laid out policies and procedures for administering medically assisted death to children, including scenarios where the parents would not be informed until after the child dies. The article appears just three months before the Canadian Council of Academies is due to report to Parliament on the medical consensus about extending voluntary euthanasia in circumstances currently forbidden by law. The Canadian Council of Academies is specifically looking at extending so-called assisted dying to patients under 18, psychiatric patients and patients who have expressed a preference for...

The Republican National Convention opens in Cleveland — we are all witnesses — in exactly 16 days. That means that sometime over the next two weeks or so, we'll find out whom Trump has picked to be his vice-presidential running mate. Trump and his team have said all sorts of things about the timing of the announcement, including sometime soon and in the midst of the convention. Either way, it's coming. And coming soon. Trying to figure out a) whom Trump will pick or b) whom he is consulting in deciding whom to pick is, well, tough. But we do...
