A woman in Canada was euthanized because she was unwell and it bored her husband to have to take care of her. There was no place in a hospice for her and, in spite of the woman not wanting this, she was put to death.
Remember what I keep saying about healthcare collapsing when there’s no nation-state? This is what it looks like. It starts with the very elderly because it’s easier to get people to accept getting rid of them. But it doesn’t stop there. Inconvenient people who require effort and can’t be farmed for utility get swapped out for newer, healthier models. Don’t get old or sick, is the lesson.
This case is causing no outrage. We have traveled far down the road of normalizing the elimination of inconvenient people given that only a few years ago the case of a man who disconnected his comatose wife from life support to please a new bit on the side did shock people and at least provoked a discussion. In that case, the wife was not conscious and was not asking to be spared death. We are now at the stage when a person says. “Please don’t kill me” but she still gets killed because she’s a burden.
