Stunning online and published reports assert the government of Canada, which already has a widely promoted plan to offer help to people to kill themselves, called Medical Assistance in Dying, is considering an expansion to offer such "help" to children.
Jasmin Laine, the host of the program "Over Opinionated," posted online images of flyers, apparently from critics of the ideology, describing the plan that would give "mature" children the option of killing themselves without any input from the child's parents.
"You have to be a special kind of demonic to advocate for MAID for young, vulnerable people and people who are suicidal," Laine wrote. "Imagine walking into a clinic for help, and being told the world would be better off without you… that you should cave to the lies the devil on your shoulder is telling you, and it would be more affordable for Canada's healthcare system if you were gone."
She continued, "As someone who has transformed my life and become empowered to live it, thanks to recovery plans and treatment after trying to end it—and is on the other side after losing the man I loved for nearly 10 years of my life to that same fate; There is nothing compassionate about this—it is pure evil."
It was Slay News, under the headline noting Canada, "moves to begin euthanizing children without parental consent," that reported, "The globalist Canadian government has launched a campaign to promote a new push to begin euthanizing children with mental health issues without their parents' consent. The new scheme seeks to open up the country's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) to children. Liberal Party Prime Minister Mark Carney's government describes those children who would be eligible for 'assisted suicide' using the alarmingly vague term 'mature minors.'"
Canada already operates an extensive assisted suicide program, and hospitals and doctors routinely offer the service to those with a wide range of ailments, including depression.
Beginning in 2027, the government also will start offering euthanasia for those with mental issues, the report said.
Even today, those seeking counseling might have to wait four months for treatment, while the wait for MAID is only three months.
The report noted Dying With Dignity Canada, on the web, explains the current age limit for assisted suicide applicants is 18, but it said, "In many jurisdictions across Canada, mature minors already have the right to make important decisions regarding their healthcare."
