Canada’s rapid embrace of euthanasia exposed: Top medical organization wants to give lethal injections to seriously ill NEWBORNS – as government funds morbid activity book for children to understand assisted dying

When Canada changed its laws in 2016 to permit euthanasia, voters were assured the lethal injections would only be available for seriously ill adults who needed to hasten a looming death and end their suffering.

Much has changed these past seven years.

The government is now weighing whether to extend euthanasia to children and the mentally ill. It has even funded an activity book for youngsters to learn about Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD), as it is known.

In another worrying sign, a top medical body in the French-speaking eastern province of Quebec says lethal injections should be made available to seriously ill newborns.

Supporters of assisted suicide say they help some very sick people end their agony. Critics say they are the start of a slippery slope that sees ever-more vulnerable people ending their lives prematurely.  

‘Now we’ve legalized euthanasia, everything’s turning upside down,’ Alex Schadenberg, director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, a campaign group, told DailyMail.com. ‘It used to be seen as a last resort. Now, we think in terms of denying people a service that should be available to them.’

  1. Euthanasia is susceptible to many abuses, but when you take away from people their rights of control over their own lives, that is an abuse in itself, same as when you take away from women our control over our own bodies.

    Maybe Christians need to make up their minds who they think is "important" and who is not?
