Why would it be relevant whether euthanasia is or isn't allowed in other places?
We know exactly why it's not allowed in most places, and that reason has nothing to do with medical care.
- ramraj07 4y agoPlease go And read the apnews article. It’s sent shivers down my spine. Doctors suggesting to disabled patients that it’s “selfish” to not consider euthanasia, then expanding it to kids now? It sounds quite nazi-Esque. Almost as if Canada has decided to just “kill the poor” so to speak instead of helping them out. I’ve always heard that the beauracracy is one of Canadas biggest issues and now seeing this mix with disabled people being killed like ants sounds like the worst combination.
- telchior 4y agoI did read it. Sounds like there may be some issues that need to be worked on. Possibly some lawsuits filed. But my question was simple: why should other countries not having euthanasia make it harder to get MAD in Canada? A huge number of countries will never have euthanasia for religious reasons. Nothing else. There is no reasoning behind it, except taboo and scripture. As for people being individually opposed to euthanasia, meh. The same people are, generally, quite comfortable with leaving people to die in overwhelming pain and misery. As Mother Theresa famously said: "Pain, sorrow and suffering are the kiss of Jesus." The push for allowing euthanasia comes from people who find just as much disgust and distress in the veneration of suffering as people on the other side do in the idea that anyone would ever die prematurely. But I doubt many of the euthanasia supporters would oppose continuing to work on and improve the systems.
