Euthanasia is good when an 84 year old grandfather with terminal cancer, and multiple organ failure is being kept alive only through medical technology and wishes to have a respectful, painless passing that will lessen the pain his family has to feel.
Euthanasia is not good when a poor person needs to get their appendix removed.
So given Canada’s history of medical abuses against native people, what are the chances this is a front for an escalation of the ongoing genocide? How many people are they arbitrarily declaring incapable and then killing?
Canadian here, 1000%. This is fucking Aktion T4 2, electric boogaloo.
The fact they’re killing people DEEMED INCAPABLE OF CHOOSING ASSISTED SUICIDE is fucking ridiculous. That’s not how consent works, you’re a straight up premeditated murderer preying on the most vulrnable and defenseless people as victims, and you deserve no mercy when your own time comes.
But somehow this is not seen as fascism/totalitarianism/whatever other boogeymen libs like to accuse other countries of being
I’ve really like to see the data on what percentage of those people Indigenous, black, Asian, etc, non-white in general. Like, why do I suspect that statistic is dodgy as hell?
It’s definitely genocide
“helped” people die is a weird way to spell murder. Didn’t realize the Hippocratic oath had a line about murdering patients.
In theory, I can support the right to euthanasia. But the way its being peddled by Canada and Baltic countries as a magic solution is fucking disgusting.
It’s basically “you’re getting too expensive so you can just eat shit and die.”
The only way I could possibly support it is with very, extremely, meticulous consent, after completely ruling out every single avenue of treatment. If you’re not of sound mind already, you cannot even legally consent to any sexual activity so how is consenting to literally dying on the table? Yet that seems to be the people they’re targeting.
Exactly. Its dystopian.
There are people out there who are suffering from such immense pain or have such a lack of dignity in their end stage of life that they’d rather go out on their own terms. The conversation is worth having. But currently, yes, assisted suicide in most cases is very much a bandaid solution as long a capitalism is what drives people to develop extreme disease, dementia, mental illness etc.
That’s right. There will be no UBI. There will be no liberal utopía. The moment you stop being profitable for the ruling class, you are removed.
Times like these, it really feels like the Nazis have won after all.
Hitler lost. His ideology won.
It’s fucking Brave New World, the good dystopic book
Death to Canada. You can toss my salad if you’re reading this RCMP. Fascist fucks.
Who’s the RCMP?
It’s the Canadian Federal police. The “Royal Canadian Mounted Police”. In their free time they get up to such behavior as taking money from oil companies to commit false flag bombings. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/rcmp-bombed-oil-site-in-dirty-tricks-campaign-1.188599
2 things I can only add.
1- it’s the daily mail, treat it with caution and look much, much further than them for an actual story (they’ve also been known to make up quotes)
2- countries other than Canada made assisted suicide legal and do not have the problems Canada does with it.

Is their regulation much stricter? I had read that the numbers in Canada are going through the roof. If the euthanasia is restricted to, quoting another poster “when an 84 year old grandfather with terminal cancer, and multiple organ failure is being kept alive only through medical technology and wishes to have a respectful, painless passing that will lessen the pain his family has to feel” the numbers will naturally be low, but if they are doing it to people with non terminal disease or disability instead of giving them proper care this is certainly something else.
Also worth to compare the suicide statistics between Canada and those countries. If they don’t match the assisted suicide then you will know something is afoul in that system (beside being capitalist dictatorship that naturally drives people to suicide).
@yogthos@lemmy.ml can you please comment on that? I seen you post on lemmy multiple times about euthanasia in Canada
Basically, the issue is that the inadequate social safety net in Canada is encouraging disabled people to choose euthanasia because they’re unable to live in dignity. The problem isn’t with allowing people to end their life on their terms, but the fact that it’s the economic conditions that drive them to that. A couple of good articles discussing this:
By personal experience in Parkdale CI high school and Bowmore middle school of Toronto city, Canada also support bullying by head teacher and corrupted school superintendent against autistic student through scapegoating, exaggerated slander in public, toxic influence to students , and blackmailing of parents with armed gangster conspiracies. The ableist corrupted school authorities can freely evade punishment for their crimes to mock the rule of law and justice system in their country. The worse part is that the whole community is censoring whistleblowing on the violence against autistic students for their nationalist pride to their toxic culture.
Thanks
Not necessarily stricter, but possibly a longer process to get access. Depends on the country.

I’m surprised the daily mail sounds critical of this since it’s basically a capitalist wet dream.
But they can’t say this openly since their readers still believe they live in the best possible system that is only offering them progress. As every capitalist rag the conclusion will be “the other bourgeoise party and their totally different idelogy is the cause of all evil, we will fix the system”.
Here is a decent article on the topic essentially Canada has the most open a free with limited restrictions on these law and they are already killing people who are disabled with no life threatening disease simply because they ask for it. It’s fucking mental and disturbing imo

The Daily Mail promoting psychopathy.
The daily mail is opposed to euthanasia, they’re ultra conservative and are clearly exaggerating and probably bullshitting about whatever is in that article to make euthanasia look bad.
Isn’t it quite obviously displayed as a bad thing in this article?
I didn’t read it
How is thid not an Onion Article ?
this is dystopian
‘It’s the most rewarding work we’ve ever done’: German doctor who’s euthanized 400 undesirables proudly shares how she helped kill man who was ‘life unworthy of life’ – as another physician says she’s helped 300 die
I don’t have much of an opinion on medically assisted suicide, but bragging about it like this is genuinely immoral.
