The Canadian health care system–it’s free you know!–is killing people and harvesting their organs.
Why not? Obviously, those bodies were people useless enough to society to kill them off–so why not use the leftover husk as a resource for the right sort of people to use?
A growing number of patients who request medical assistance in dying are asking to donate their organs for transplant, says an international review that found that Canada is performing the most organ transplants from MAID patients among the four countries studied that offer this practice.
The report is the first-ever review of the growing use of this new practice around the world. The review was conducted in 2021 and the results were formally published in December 2022.
“We saw everyone is working in different directions. And then we said ‘OK, well, let’s start an international (discussion) of all the countries involved,’” said Dr. Johannes Mulder, a physician and MAID provider in Zwolle, Netherlands, in an interview with CTV News.
Canada is run by ghouls who have decided that citizens are nothing but resources. Disabled veterans should off themselves. Depressed people should off themselves. Poor people should off themselves. We’re here to help, and harvest the organs when you’re gone.
Apparently such people are nothing but a drain, unless they have healthy organs to donate. They are literally worth nothing alive, and quite a bit dead. That is, apparently, how both the leadership and the medical establishment in Canada now view people who are under their care.
Doctors in Canada, where medical assistance in dying (MAID) was decriminalized in 2016, performed almost half of the world’s organ transplants after MAID for that period (136), according to the publication.
Data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information confirms this new source of transplant organs accounted accounts for six per cent of all transplants from deceased donors in Canada in 2021. Some transplants, like those for kidneys and livers, can be done with patients who are alive.
“I was rather proud that Canada has done so well in terms of organ donation by MAID patients,” said Arthur Schafer, director of the Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics at the University of Manitoba, in an interview with CTV News.
With more than 4,000 Canadians waiting for organ transplants, some of whom are dying, he says Canada’s numbers show a strong move to turn death into a win-win.
“So I say, ‘Good on us.’ It’s a wonderful opportunity for someone facing death to make something significant out of the end of their life,” said Schafer.
Generally, I think of organ transplantation taking place when people die unexpectedly. You know, motorcycle accidents, falling off ladders, a sudden heart attack maybe. In a sane world assisted suicide would at the very least be reserved for people facing an inevitable death from a disease that ravages their body, like cancer. You don’t generally want the liver of a cancer patient, right?
But in Canada, they are killing people not only dying of degenerative diseases but people who might even live for decades but for the state taking them out. So they are now harvesting the organs for reuse. Hence the “ethicist” casually says “’Good on us.’ It’s a wonderful opportunity for someone facing death to make something significant out of the end of their life,” said Schafer.
They are only facing death, though, because the state is eager to kill them. That, in my mind, makes a bit of a difference.
This is the sort of thing that revolts us about Chinese totalitarianism, yet our Elite™ is arguing it is a good thing.
Nice to live in a dystopia, isn’t it?
“What should you do, or what shouldn’t you do? And how to keep the whole project completely voluntary,” he said of some of the concerns, noting that patients should never be pressured to choose MAID to increase the availability of donor organs.
That is a worry shared by Trudo Lemmens, a professor in health law and policy at the University of Toronto.
He points to statistics showing more than 35 per cent of Canadians who died by MAID in 2021 felt they were “a burden on family, friends or caregivers” according to a Health Canada report.
“I am concerned that people who struggle with a lack of self-esteem and self-worth may be pushed to see this as an opportunity to mean something,” said Lemmens in an email comment to CTV News.
When I was taking logic I was warned against the “slippery slope” argument–one should judge each assertion on its own merits, not on what it might lead to in the future.
Screw that. Slippery slopes are real. We see it every day. 5 years ago we heard “love is love” and today we are told, “child mutilation is a right.” People were arguing that the first would lead to the second, and they were right. Name a slippery slope argument that was wrong. Pretty much every time we get talked into dropping some long-standing societal norm it becomes a race to the most extreme outcome.
Nearly naked men are performing sexually charged acts in front of K-6 kids. That would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Because of the slippery slope. We dropped gender norms, and this is the inevitable result.
Now we are doing that with state-sponsored murder. Already people who are disabled or poor get pressured into suicide, and now their organs are being harvested.
No. Just no.
Hell no. I have compassion for people facing end-of-life challenges and am sympathetic to their desire for easing their way out of a life of suffering. But we are already at the organ harvesting phase, after only a few years. I feared the slippery slope, and Canada proves that it is inevitable that we reach the bottom of the slope quickly.
So no.
