Euthanasia/assisted suicide is NOT about terminal illness. The issue is about normalizing killing as a response to human suffering.

Sure, the initial sales pitch would restrict doctor-administered or prescribed death to the dying. But that’s just to get people comfortable with the concept. Once a society accepts the principle, logic quickly takes it to a broad euthanasia license.

Canada is a prime example. Before the Supreme Court imposed a national euthanasia right on the country, the debate was all about terminal illness. But now that euthanasia is the law throughout the country, the push is on to allow doctors to kill the mentally ill who ask to die.

The Globe and Mail’s pro-euthanasia health columnist, André Picard, uses the suicide of a mentally ill person to push that agenda. From, “The Mentally Ill Must Be Part of the Assisted Suicide Debate:”

We should not discriminate or deny people rights because it makes us queasy or because of our prejudices. This case reminds us just how severe mental illness can be. “Non-existence is better than this,” Mr. Maier-Clayton said. “Once there’s no quality of life, life is akin to a meaningless existence.”

Opponents of assisted death argue that those who suffer from mental illness cannot make rational decisions, that they need to be protected from themselves.

But we’re not talking about granting assisted death to someone who is delusional, or suffering from psychosis or someone who is depressed and treatable. The suffering has to be persistent and painful, though not necessarily imminently lethal.

The notorious Canadian Abortionist has died at the age of ninety. He has enjoyed a long life during which he has denied life to tens of thousands of defenceless and innocent pre -born children and inflicted violence on vulnerable women. He was a survivor of the Nazi holocaust and perpetrated a new holocaust on pre born children whose only crime was being “unwanted”

He has done more to promote a culture of death in Canada than any other person. In defiance of the law he opened in Canada, in 1970 the first clinic for the killing of children in the womb. Legal proceedings against him went to the Supreme Court. When the Morgentalier decision came down from the Supreme Court in 1988, Supreme Court Justice Bertha Wilson said, “the right to liberty contained in section seven of the Bill of Rights guarantees to every individual a degree of personal autonomy over important decisions intimately affecting his or her private life.” How tragic that a woman Justice could deny to women in utero the right to life and could empower the strong to kill the weak. Since 1969 in Canada, more than three million children have been killed in their mother’s womb.

The decision of the Supreme Court effectively demolished any legal protection for the lives of Canadians in their first nine months of life. Today there is no law protecting Canadian women and the pre-born from the violence of abortion. A woman may have her child in the womb killed for any reason or no reason.
