MAiD makes up 5.1% of deaths in Canada already<\/a>. And they’re harvesting organs<\/a> with plans for much more. And it’s funny that their socialized medicine is failing, with their next step to kill you so you won’t suffer waiting for treatment, so keep that in mind as they want socialized medicine here the in the states. And the biggest takeaway is this is being advocated for by white coats, some of the most devilish people on this planet by all the harm they perpetuate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once killing the sufferer <\/em>becomes a societally acceptable means for ending suffering,<\/em> there becomes no end to the \u201csuffering\u201d that justifies human termination. We can see this phenomenon most vividly in Canada, because it is happening there more quickly than in most cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, a recent poll<\/a> found that 27 percent of Canadians polled strongly or moderately agree that euthanasia is acceptable for suffering caused by \u201cpoverty\u201d<\/em> and 28 percent strongly or moderately agree that killing by doctors is acceptable for suffering caused by homelessness<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Euthanasia mutates a society\u2019s soul. I can\u2019t imagine that being true ten years ago before euthanasia became legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Compassionate\u2019 Health Care Strikes Again<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This kind of abandoned thinking finds enthusiastic, albeit not unanimous, expression among secular bioethicists. In fact, two Canadian bioethicists just published a paper in the Journal of Medical Ethics <\/em>\u2014 a prestigious British Medical Journal<\/em> publication \u2014 arguing that \u201cunjust social conditions\u201d justify lethal jabs (euphemistically called MAiD, for \u201cmedical assistance in dying\u201d). The argument claims that killing is a form of \u201charm reduction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authors even admit such cases have already occurred legally in Canada. From \u201cChoosing Death in Unjust Conditions<\/a>: Hope, Autonomy, and Harm Reduction\u201d (my emphasis):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

In 2022, an individual in Canada, who had been diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS), received MAiD. However, by their own description, their decision to choose MAiD\u00a0was driven primarily by the fact that they were unable to access affordable housing<\/strong>\u00a0compatible with MCS. While it was true that they suffered from an illness, disease or disability that caused \u2018enduring physical or psychological suffering that is intolerable to them and cannot be relieved under conditions that they consider acceptable\u2019 as specified under the eligibility criteria of Bill C-14 [that recently expanded eligibility beyond death being \u201creasonably foreseeable],\u00a0the primary source of their suffering was an inability to find appropriate housing, not the condition itself<\/strong>. Another person, also with MCS, writes: \u2018I\u2019ve applied for MAiD essentially because of abject poverty\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Good grief. The patient in question is dead \u2014 not because of their medical but housing<\/em> conditions. And doctors used the physical issues as pretext for justifying the killing as within the law!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authors approve of allowing euthanasia for reasons of social injustice as a means of \u201charm reduction.\u201d And in the context of medical issues, the authors claim that this includes killing patients who would not want to die if they could access proper treatment<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

In the case of the availability of MAiD in Canada to people who not only might\u00a0but have explicitly said they would choose differently if they had access to the options they preferred<\/strong>, we argue that\u00a0the least harmful way forward is to allow MAiD to be available<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This, even though Canada\u2019s socialized health-care system is in crisis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Access to healthcare across nearly all dimensions continues to deteriorate in the wake of the pandemic even outside of long-term and palliative care,\u00a0from basic care, to surgical backlogs,\u00a0to a general consensus that the system is in a state of collapse<\/strong>.\u00a0In this context,\u00a0refusing options to people who autonomously pursue MAiD amounts to perpetuating their suffering, hoping that this will ultimately lead to a better, more \u2018just\u2019 world. This is a world that currently does not exist and is unlikely to emerge in the near future<\/strong>. Even if it did, it is unfortunately even more unlikely that the people whose current suffering has led them to request MAiD will realise its benefits.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So, socialized medicine fails, and a splendid answer to the problem for patients in need is euthanasia. Do you see now why I call euthanasia\/assisted suicide \u201cabandonment?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authors conclude:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We disagree with any claim that the unjust lack of choices available to people is alone sufficient to undermine their autonomy. Those who launch legal proceedings or request and receive MAiD are unlikely examples of people whose reduced opportunities have led them to lose all hope and motivation for pursuing personally meaningful courses of action. Moreover,\u00a0neither a reduction of opportunities in itself, nor the existence of oppressive ableist norms, is sufficient to directly undermine autonomy<\/strong>\u2026Restricting an autonomous choice to pursue MAiD due to the injustice of current non-ideal circumstances\u00a0causes more harm than allowing the choice to pursue MAiD<\/strong>, even though that choice is deeply tragic.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Bioethics is growing increasingly monstrous. And that matters because these are the so-called \u201cexperts\u201d who exert tremendous influence on our laws and regulations, in court rulings, over the attitudes of journalists, among the purveyors of popular culture, and, ultimately, upon public attitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, Canada is our closest cultural cousin. If such a crass death-embracing attitude developed there so quickly with the legalization of euthanasia, it will<\/em> happen here too \u2014 and, indeed, almost all state laws allowing doctor-prescribed death already expanded their guidelines<\/a>. Which is why, if we want to follow the truly compassionate course, it is a matter of great urgency that we reject all further legalization of assisted suicide in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
