Euthanasia as Practiced in Canada Is Horrifying

I miss civilization. Canada Is Showing Us The True, Ugly Colors of Euthanasia

Canada's so-called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program isn't just failing vulnerable people -- it's actively betraying them. Time and again, it delivers fresh, horrifying proof that euthanasia is not compassion, but a moral nightmare dressed as mercy. Yet far too many still look away. Why?

Because it is far away, and they haven't come for you. Yet.

It starts off with the story of Mrs. B. My post on that incident is Euthanized 'against her will' - Isn't This Murder?

Then there is the case of Kiano Vafaeian. He was 26, blind in one eye and depressed. His family only learned of his application for MaiD after he was dead. He applied a couple of times, but his family saved his life twice. This time they were not able to intervene.

But MAiD's 2022 expansion to non-terminal chronic conditions reopened the door. Approved again and scheduled to be euthanized that September in Toronto, his mother once more successfully rallied support through petitions and media, even prompting her son's doctor to withdraw. Years passed. Then, in late 2025, Vafaeian was approved yet again, this time in Vancouver by Dr. Ellen Wiebe, who has carried out over 400 executions by euthanasia. This final green light exploited a loophole, framing his torment as primarily physical (diabetes-related blindness) despite depression's undeniable dominance. The young man, not even 30 years old, was euthanized on December 30, 2025.

And then there is the case of Canadian actress Claire Brosseau. She is 48 and depressed, but wants to die, and is suing for that right. She has manic depression, anxiety, substance abuse, but no chronic physical ailments. Not being offed by the medical profession violates her right to die. Or something.

It is certainly cheaper to kill people, than to care for them, but is that what civilized people do? Don't get me wrong. I have said that if I was suffering from acute radiation poisoning, I would not stick around for the mechanics of dying. If you knew what that kind of death involved, you probably wouldn't either. There are other ends I wouldn't want. Certain kinds of stage 4 cancer come to mind.

If there is pain, that I can understand. But killing people, medically, because they are depressed seems wrong to me. It speaks to the nihilistic nature of modern life.
