This is where Canada has landed as a free society.
Read this extraordinary investigative article from The New Atlantis on the Canadian loosening of standards for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).
Some choice quotes:
As this article will show, in internal meetings, those close to the system have long talked openly about red flags that many people are choosing euthanasia because they’re not getting the “supports and cares” they need. The physicians in charge of the process not only know that this is happening, but they have discussed it in seminars, collected evidence, and then kept it quiet in public.
Justin Trudeau made a clear promise to the public: that nobody would receive MAID “because you’re not getting the supports and cares that you actually need.” But the CAMAP recordings plainly suggest that exactly this is happenin, that euthanasia workers know it, and that they are acting with no urgency to stop it.
One of the greatest reasons for concern is the sheer scale of Canada’s euthanasia regime. California provides a useful point of comparison: It legalized medically assisted death the same year as Canada, 2016, and it has about the same population, just under forty million. In 2021 in California, 486 people died using the state’s assisted suicide program. In Canada in the same year, 10,064 people used MAID to die.

My December post on the topic here.
Finally, in the beyond words category, here’s an actual MAiD activity book for children ages 6 to 12, made with funding from Health Canada.
Laugh or die: Babylon Bee Takes Aim at Canada's MAID Madness:

In the January issue of "The Interim" Canada's Life and Family Newspaper we hear from five people who chose MAID and their reasons for doing so: 1. Living in poverty 2. Needed better home care 3. Disability benefits ended 4. Feared homelessness 5. Wanted a stair lift and couldn't get one
The law states that an individual must have an irremediable health condition reasonably foreseeable. This has been tossed aside. People should be careful because even "health conditions" however dire, can change but now we have "poverty euthanasia." Soon it will be any kind of mental illness. Giving up is the problem.
