A blind diabetic 28-year-old was euthanized in Canada. The horror of this makes my heart stop. Yes, he “wanted it” but he wouldn’t have if he hadn’t been led to want it.
This year I’m working with two blind students. Together (and shh, please keep it a secret) we threw away all the insane requirements of the Disability Office and came up with a system that works for us. These are great young people who will get an education, find jobs, form families and be productive members of society. They have friends, one of them is engaged to be married, and they are both a joy to be around. The idea that we should just get rid of all the blind, diabetic, elderly, infirm and depressed people is deeply immoral.

“euthanized in Canada”
No wonder Canada is so enchanted with China… no country is as good as killing citizens as China. The perfect model for Carmey to learn from.

Here in Canada I like to shock advocates for medical assistance in dying (MAID, they use the phrase “death with dignity”) by referring to it as a “business model”. The reactions are amusing. Some, the naive, are simply baffled. Others, sociopaths who understand, act offended – they know that the health care system can save big bucks by the timely application of MAID. And before some of you automatically blame government health care for this evil business model, ask yourself: is there anything preventing private health insurers from limiting their losses through MAID? Are private bureaucrats any less sociopathic than those on the public payroll.
Death with dignity is often a cover for cost cutting by the elimination of those with chronic conditions requiring expensive care.
When you remove God and morality from the public sphere this is you get.

“medical assistance in dying … a “business model””
I’m fairly sure that there will be mass killings of undesirables within the next 20 years or so. All the signs are there. There won’t be protests because it will be framed in terms of government saving and choice and a model will be found that lets people (those not marked for elimination) ignore it or feel good about it.

To me, euthanasia is a natural continuation of abortion. The purpose is the same – killing of undesirable people. As soon as abortion was made legal, it was a just a question of time until it ended with MAiD. Because once we accept that it is compassionate to kill a baby in utero to spare their suffering because he or she has been diagnosed with a Down syndrom (or simply because parents do not want him/her), it is a straight line from there to killing adults with chronic and incurable conditions to spare their suffering too. I find both equally abhorrent. Canada is already discussing expanding MAiD to include “mature minors” and eventually it will come for babies born with incurable diseases that somehow escaped detection during the pregnancy. This is anything but compassionate and coming to us all eventually. “MAiD” is already legal in 11 US states and DC, we are simply observing our future with what is happening in Canada.

Children with behavioral problems, too. They overburden public schools for one.
Healthy babies can be very cranky, which is annoying. Why not eliminate them, too? Choice, freedom, amirite?
