It's Just Human Life

No need to get into a tizzy: 

The government of Canada's website says that those whose only medical condition is a mental illness will not be eligible for MAID until March 2023, meaning that it will be fully available for those with just a mental condition after that date.

Ever since it burst into the public consciousness almost a year ago, details of Canada’s assisted suicide scheme, known euphemistically as MAiD — medical assistance in dying — have shocked and astonished people around the world in equal measure. Harrowing tales of disabled poor people choosing to end their lives because they could not survive on paltry benefits have since proliferated, as have horror stories of doctors and bureaucrats trying to pressure patients into ending their lives.

(Sidebar: ahem ...)

Yet the parliamentary committee charged with reviewing the regime seemed to take for granted that access to euthanasia should be expanded to include even more people. The only remaining question will be by how much.

True, there had been warnings that once euthanasia became legal in Canada, its scope would widen rapidly beyond the initial target group of terminally ill people, as had happened in almost every country where it had been legalised. But the Canadian supreme court loftily dismissed these concerns as a “slippery slope” fallacy when it struck down the criminal prohibition on assisting suicide in 2015.

Then a Quebec court ruled that to limit euthanasia access to those whose deaths were “reasonably foreseeable” discriminated against those whose illness were not terminal — euthanasia was, after all, a human right according to the courts.

Fast-forward a few years, and the Canadian parliament is now calmly discussing whether disabled children could be euthanised by doctors. In other words, infanticide. Nor will euthanasia be limited to physical illness: from next year, mental illness will become a qualifying condition. Already, depressed teenagers on social media are speaking about applying to die once they turn 18.

It might be comforting to dismiss the Canadian experience as an aberration and Canada as an alien country inhabited by a barbarous people. But Canada is a country with a culture much like that of the UK, with an overextended healthcare system, a social care system that is perpetually near collapse, a strained exchequer, and an ageing population.

Why does this all sound so achingly familiar?:

Beginning in October 1939, public health authorities began to encourage parents of children with disabilities to admit their young children to one of a number of specially designated pediatric clinics throughout Germany and Austria. In reality, the clinics were children's killing wards. There, specially recruited medical staff murdered their young charges by lethal overdoses of medication or by starvation.

At first, medical professionals and clinic administrators included only infants and toddlers in the operation. As the scope of the measure widened, they included youths up to 17 years of age. Conservative estimates suggest that at least 10,000 physically and mentally disabled German children perished as a result of the child "euthanasia" program during the war years. ...

"Euthanasia" planners quickly envisioned extending the killing program to adult disabled patients living in institutional settings. In the autumn of 1939, Adolf Hitler signed a secret authorization in order to protect participating physicians, medical staff, and administrators from prosecution. This authorization was backdated to September 1, 1939, to suggest that the effort was related to wartime measures.

 

 

Why, it's like not letting people harmed their immune systems:

With respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) surging coast to coast, children’s hospitals have been reporting long wait times and overwhelmed emergency rooms due to unprecedented cases of the highly contagious illness, which causes cold-like symptoms in older children but can be very serious in infants.

Children usually accumulate immunity over time to RSV, according to Dr. Melissa Langevin, associate medical director of emergency medicine at Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). However, at a CHEO medical briefing on Oct. 26, Langevin said that the last three years of COVID-19 and lockdowns meant “kids not interacting in the same way.”

“RSV is a virus that normally you probably are in contact with every year or every other year, and so you sort of accumulate an immunity over time. And what we’re seeing is this cohort of kids who have had much less exposure to viruses as would have had in the past years,” she said.

First it was people not getting vaccinated who were the problem with the hospital system, now its people not wearing masks. How many scapegoats will they come up with as to keep covering for our failed healthcare system? #NoMaskMandates

Today when all the OHA bureaucrats, including the stunningly overpaid Matt Anderson, call for a mask mandate, we should be calling for them to resign. In what universe does someone make half a million to a million dollars for breathtaking incompetence? #onpoli @fordnation

1) Ontario parents have child with high fever

2) No child fever medication on pharmacy shelves

3) Takes child to hospital emergency looking for medication

4) Hospital capacity still same as before pandemic

5) Ontario govt pushes masks to deflect

Drugstore shortages in Canada are now extending beyond the children's pain and fever medication aisle into other over-the-counter and prescription drugs as supply problems worsen across the country.

Hundreds of medications are either running low or out of stock completely, with some store shelves depleted of children's allergy medication, adult cough and cold syrup, eye drops and even some oral antibiotics, industry experts say.

The situation is leaving pharmacists scrambling to find alternatives while many Canadians end up at drop-in health clinics or waiting hours in emergency rooms for ailments they would normally treat at home.

 

Let's not ask any questions like why did the Liberals place the entire country under house arrest, why medicines aren't mass-produced in Canada, or how the government magically finds stocks of essential children's medicines?
