  • "Euthanasia became a legal option for Canadians 18 years and older in 2016, who had to prove suffering from severe pain and have a reasonably foreseeable death, as well as two doctors signing off on the decision."
  • "“[The law is] probably the biggest existential threat to disabled people since the Nazis’ program in Germany in the 1930s,” Tim Stainton, director of the Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship at the University of British Columbia, told the AP."
  • "Canada has allowed terminally ill patients to end their lives with medical assistance since 2016. And eventually, even as early as next March, Canadians living with severe mental illness could also be eligible under the law known as medical assistance in dying, or MAID. But as you might imagine, that has raised many difficult ethical and moral questions, both about the motivations of health care workers who might offer the option and also about the competence of patients who might request it."
  • "We suspect that this is the kind of dilemma that might resonate across borders."
  • "A Canadian military veteran seeking counseling for post-traumatic stress disorder was offered a rather disturbing answer by an employee of Canada’s Veterans Affairs administration — medically assisted suicide."
  • "Trauma and suicide are real issues facing not only the American military, but Canada’s as well, which makes the suggestion of a medically assisted death as a solution to post-traumatic stress disorder all the disturbing."
  • "The VAC released a statement last week admitting to an incident "where medical assistance in dying was discussed inappropriately" with the veteran. The department pledged that "appropriate administrative action will be taken" after the veteran expressed outrage at the suggestion, according to a report in Global News."
  • "Canadian Army veteran Kelsi Sheren was 19 years old when her life changed forever on a mission in Afghanistan in 2009. Today she's fighting Canada's push to expand euthanasia access to veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)."

As the old military saying goes...this situation is FUCKED UP BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION!!!! (FUBAR)

A lot like adult gender reassignment surgery.

A) They have a right to do what they want with their body
B) Many reasonable interpretations of the Hippocratic oath would prevent a healer from promoting or assisting.

This has nothing to do with abortion.

Any interpretation that multiplies the original oath ultimately destroys it (i.e. it renders it null and void, useless)!!

I would recommend you disable that political rhetoric caching you have going on, this is a nonsensical remark given the context.

If "multiplies" = "mutilates", that seems like a tautological statement.

Just let them die. You are no business to them, they don't have to be no business to you. You aren't even Canadian, you can't decide for them.

Solutions to problems.

Works fine with Cats and Dogs.

And anything else we care to kill.

We only think we're special.


Well.....Not everyone thinks that everyone is special.

Ethics are often a tad contradictory.

We can never know what it's like to suck maple syrup through the hockey face plate day in and day out. Constantly having to feed the polar bear and remembering to say "if you don't mind", "sorry", and of course "eh".

It takes a toll.

Yeah, you are proving my point.
