    Default Assisted dying: Canada’s sinister experiment

    I am ambivalent about legalising euthanasia. Interesting and disturbing video even so.

    Justin Trudeau’s Canada has taken a truly sinister turn. Over the past decade, it has become a pioneer in what is euphemistically called ‘assisted dying’, whereby the state helps people to end their lives. At first, it was offered only to the terminally ill, people for whom death was imminent. But in the space of just a few years, it was being offered to poor, disabled and desperate people, unable to access the healthcare or resources needed to live a decent life. Rather than tackle the health and economic challenges Canadian society is facing, the government is effectively offering an early death as a solution to life’s ills. In our latest video polemic, Lauren Smith argues that Canada offers a warning to the world. When a society enshrines the ‘right to die’, it sets itself on a very dark path.

    Canada is most disgusting country in the western hemisphere. I can't express how much I loathe it.

    I believe that people who are terminally ill but mentally lucid should, at least in some circumstances, be able to have the right to die at a time of their choice. However, as is increasingly the case in Canada, there is indeed a danger of 'mission creep' where it shall be used for an ever-greater range of scenarios and even endanger the lives of the poor and disabled. Plus also the much longerstanding and more obvious potential abuses where the elderly are encouraged to die by grasping relatives or even medical professionals (remember Harold Shipman?)

    Apart from this, what else about Canada do you find exceptionally disgusting and disturbing?

    This is the problem with euthanasia.

    I support the concept and as a healthcare provider, I would have no problems administering or being present during euthanasia.

    HOWEVER, the danger of the slippery slope is real. Over time, the scope of eligibility broadens more and more. It started off with terminally ill people who have a short time left to live. After that it became a terminal illness even where there was no time period. So it progressed. First it was adults over 18. In the Netherlands that age was dropped to 12 and in Belgium the lower age limit has been done away with completely.

    Whereas I agree with euthanasia, I would vote against it every time to prevent this dangerous slippery slope where it becomes acceptable to do away with 'inconvenient' people.

    Indeed, there is the danger that it shall become a form of eugenics by the back door. As with abortion, while there are some circumstances where it is a compassionate or even necessary option, its expansion is very much a slippery slope. (There is something more than a little hypocritical and dissonant about Western feminists condemning mothers in China and India for aborting foetuses due to their sex. Is aborting a foetus due to its sex really that much more immoral than aborting it because it has a disability or else is just an inconvenience in your life?)

    Sick amount of wokeism and speed of population replacement with Indians and other non whites.

    Oh I forgot; they have a dark episode from Croatian Homeland war, where their peacekeepers aided rebel Serbs and were decorated for a battle than has never happened.

    Population replacement is not a bad thing if immigrants are high IQ.
