In Defense of the Right to Life

1. They're aggressively pushing assisted suicide on those who don't want it.
https://nypost.com/2022/11/08/canadian-man-assisted-suicide-being-pushed-on-me-by-hospital/

Roger Foley alleges in a lawsuit that health-care workers at the government-affiliated Victoria Hospital in London, Ontario, Canada, encouraged him to end his life rather than rack up a costly medical bill.

2. They're pushing assisted suicide onto people who are requesting help like needing a wheelchair lift installed.

Canada offered assisted suicide to a Paralympian veteran who wanted a wheelchair lift installed: report

3. Poor people are asking for assisted suicide.


https://bioedge.org/end-of-life-iss...euthanasia-because-he-fears-becoming-homeless/

A 54-year-old Canadian man has applied for euthanasia because he fears becoming homeless.

4. People are being forced to be euthanized even when they don't want it.

Then there was the case of the woman with Alzheimer’s held down by her family as she struggled against being killed!

5. When assisted suicide is legalized, people will commit more regular suicide.

6. It's extremely common.


https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/...d-disabled-canadians-seeking-assisted-suicide

In 2021, over 10,000 Canadians died by euthanasia, also called medical aid in dying or doctor-assisted suicide.

7. They're euthanizing children. Also read my thread on late term abortion. I list examples of infant euthanasia.

Doctors Kill 10 Percent of All Babies Who Die in Flanders

“Late-Term Abortions Don’t Happen”

There's a movie that says otherwise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Tiller The film follows the daily work and lives of doctors LeRoy Carhart, Warren Hern, Shelley Sella, and Susan Robinson, the only four doctors in the United States who openly perform 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions...

8. There's books written about Terri Schiavo, so I can't say everything in a small post. She never even requested assisted suicide. It was involuntary euthanasia pushed onto her by her estranged cheating husband Michael Schiavo. She would have recovered from her disability if they tried. She also looked happy in photos. I think she even responded to commands. I'm not going to look it up.


9. Polls show Canadians support a murderer Robert Latimer. Tracy's very own father killed her because she was disabled. This wasn't even government-approved suicide. It was murder.

10. This is somewhat related. They're classifying disabled people like Jahi McMath as brain dead to take them off life support. I also recommend the “BRAIN DEATH” SURVIVORS section of organfacts.net to learn about cases this has happened.


https://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/ucla-neurologist-jahi-alive-awake-wesley-j-smith/

Jahi does not currently fulfill criteria for brain death on several grounds. First and foremost, the videos and the personal testimonies to me of several trustworthy witnesses of her motor responsiveness (yourself [lawyer Nolan], Drs. DeFina and Machado) leave no doubt that Jahi is conscious and can not only hear but even understand simple verbal requests (“move your hand,” “Move your foot,” even, “move your thumb.”)

11. People are requesting assisted suicide because they feel like burdens.


https://notdeadyet.org/disability-groups-opposed-to-assisted-suicide-laws/

In states which have legalized assisted suicide, according to data from Oregon, over a third of those who request assistance to die do so because of “feelings of being a burden” and over 90% cite “loss of autonomy” as a factor.

12. People with mere depression are given assisted suicide.

For example, people with depression are given lethal drugs in Oregon, despite the claims of proponents that this condition disqualifies a person.

13. The safeguards don't work.

Moreover, the supposed safeguards in the Oregon and Washington State laws don’t really protect patients. If one’s doctor refuses lethal drugs, the patient or family can—and do—simply shop for another doctor.

14. Disabled people are grateful it wasn't legal yet.

If assisted suicide had been legal in the past, even if it were supposedly only for those with “terminal” conditions, many of us would not be here today. I might not be here today, and I’m grateful that assisted suicide was not legal back then, and I’m committed to keeping it that way.

15. Assisted suicide is allowed for any illness that shortens lifespan.

Legislation introduced in New Hampshire in 2014 and prior years includes a definition of terminal illness so broad as to allow for a lethal prescription in response to any condition which shortens lifespan without a known treatment – even if the individual in question might have years or even decades of life remaining.

16. The Nazis euthanized disabled people with the Aktion T4 program.

Small penises must be eradicated.

 

[AtrociousCitizen]

It always starts with “terminal illness” and ends with “this guy’s a little sad and his meds didn’t work.”

17. Many euthanasia supporters support it for anybody.

The Atlantic Details the Horrors of Canadian Euthanasia | National Review

When the hastening of death is legalized, it turns some suicides and homicides into a ‘good.’

www.nationalreview.com

For example, a 2023 poll found that 28 percent of Canadians polled favored allowing euthanasia for homelessness.

 

[Aleksander1984]

Główną przyczyną cierpienia i myśli samobójczych jest brak wiedzy, który prowadzi do poczucia bezradności i beznadziei. Osoba, która nie widzi perspektyw na poprawę swojej sytuacji, popada w depresję, co z kolei nasila myśli samobójcze.Dlaczego brak wiedzy prowadzi do życia? Poczucie ukryte: Osoba, która nie rozumie, dlaczego cierpi, czuje się odizolowana. Może mieć wrażenie, że nikt inny nie zostanie usunięty przez samo, co jest błędnym wejściem.
Brak problemu: Jeśli ktoś nie jest przyczyną problemów, nie jest w stanie znaleźć rozwiązania. Nie wie, co dzieje się z jego umysłem i ciałem, co prowadzi do strachu, frustracji i poczucia beznadziei.
Brak wiary w: Nieświadomość, że depresja do choroby, którą można leczyć, sprawia, że człowiek traci zastosowanie. Wierzy, że jego stan jest dostępny i nie ma wyjścia. Dlaczego zrozumienie i wiedza są tak ważne?
Rozpoznanie choroby: Uświadomienie sobie, że cierpienie jest objawem choroby, pozwala na wystąpienie leczenia. Dostęp może zostać udostępniony i/lub farmakoterapię, co daje szansę na wyzdrowienie.
Odpowiedzialność za własne zdrowie: Wiedza o tym, jak działa nasz umysł i ciało, daje nam narzędzie do korzystania z udostępnionego. Zrozumienie, że jesteśmy odpowiedzialni za własne zdrowie, daje nam kontrolę i kontrolę.
Nadzieja na jutro: Zrozumienie, że cierpienie jest tylko tymczasowe, daje możliwość na lepsze jutro. Wiara w możliwości pokonania zagrożenia jest kluczową walką z myślami samobójczymi.

The main cause of suffering and suicidal thoughts is a lack of knowledge, which leads to a sense of helplessness and hopelessness.

I agree. Suicide is stupid.
