Reports Show Nefarious Reality Behind Canada’s Assisted Suicide Program
In Canada, doctors can treat their patients with an unusual medicine: death.
While the nation claims its doctors meet “certain safeguards” before killing their patients under the label “euthanasia,” new documents show more than 428 possible criminal cases in the province of Ontario alone, according to The New Atlantis. This includes repeat and “blatant” offenders.
Canada’s criminal code regulates the “medical assistance in dying” program, or “MAID.” Still, many of its doctors have been killing patients whose deaths could have been avoidable, as they were suffering from being poor, disabled, or lonely, according to The Associated Press.
Chief Coroner Dirk Huyer oversees physician-assisted suicide in Ontario. He claimed in 2018 that “Ontario has the strongest oversight of any province or territory in Canada” and “every case is reported.” But as noted in The Conversation, Huyer’s office last month released reports showing doctors killed patients with “mental illness and addictions, unclear mental diagnoses and suffering fuelled by housing insecurity, poverty and social marginalization.”
The New Atlantis published presentations and reports from Huyer, showing that for many possible violations of the law regulating assisted suicide, he recommended nothing more than having an “informal conversation” or sending an “educational” or “notice” email.
