"disability, chronic illness, psychological suffering, poverty, and social isolation now appear at the center of many eligibility debates. This shift has transformed MAID from an end‑of‑life measure into a far broader mechanism for state‑facilitated death."
The current situation was preceded by low-quality socialized medicine provided by the government. Of course, the government could not keep up with the demand for medical services or current innovations in medicine. Once again, socialism has been demonstrated to be a death cult. When will people begin to learn fro history?
When financial means is used as a reason for a physician to approve euthanasia, then all humane logic is abandoned. When a service could be provided (housing, medical treatment, counseling) rather than euthanasia, the choice is based on the state’s ‘gain’ and not the patient’s benefit. This was disturbing when first conceived as a state-run option and as morphed into an evil and dangerous system.
The horror here is not necessarily one of ideological malice, as it was with the Nazis. It is the quieter, more modern horror of the spreadsheet. It is the bureaucratic logic of a state that has discovered it is cheaper to eliminate a citizen than to care for them.
Disgusting!
I'd like to see some serious, quality research into these questions:
1. How many MAIDs deaths involved people who willfully, knowingly desired to have their life terminated in the manner it was done?
2. How many were coerced in some way, e.g., a doctor suggested it to them, they were mentally incapable of understanding the decision, etc.
3. Did any have a living will that said what they want in this regard, and was it done according to their wishes?
The Final Solution to rising healthcare costs.
Yep, the Canucks are fucked…and they did it to themselves. Maybe this program can be exported to Portland and LA.
Isn't Canada healthcare great?
Chilling and heartbreaking. Praying. Jesus is our only Hope.
