As Canada prepares to expand its euthanasia law to include those with mental illness, some Canadians - including many of the country's doctors - question whether the country's assisted death programme has already moved too far, too fast.
Dr Madeline Li can recall the first patient she helped die, about one month after Canada first legalised euthanasia in 2016. "I remember just how surreal it was," she said.
A psychiatrist at Toronto's Princess Margaret Hospital, she recalled checking on her patient that day, asking if she had the right music and final meal, and if she was sure she wanted to go ahead. The patient, in her mid-60s

On his application for Maid, the stated reason was "hearing loss".

Next up for eligibility will be children. "I didn't get the valedictorian award. I want to die."

Canada is in bad shape. Plus, it's cold.

Dr. Mengele is alive and well north of our border. Will the disabled be the next to be "voluntarily" euthanized?

Hey Fidelito! Don't forget: Gypsies, dissident clergy and trade unionists. But there will be no pink stars issued.

Let me get this straight: The good doctor is concerned that she is killing people because society failed them by not giving them enough food, money, and healthcare? In Canada??

Justin Castreau's leftism is so ingrained that he appears mentally ill himself. Will he volunteer himself for euthanasia? He might be happier when he rejoins his real father--not Pierre!--in the netherworld.

If the vaccine didn’t reduce population, we’ll try giving them self service death. Pretty soon, if you have any genetic deficiency that could result in heart, cancer, diabetes, kidney or other significant conditions, you will be terminated before, or shortly after birth. They don’t want you wasting the food, air and healthcare dollars reserved for the perfect ELITES !!

This is the same first legalized step psychiatrists in Nazi Germany took to justify "cleansing" German society of "inferior" human beings that eventually led to the Holoocaust.

Just like Nazi Germany. Canadians better take their country back. It may already be too late.

Who will adjudicate if a person does not want to die but is condemned by someone who testifies that the person told him that he wanted to die?

Soon up there in the frigid north it will be like Soylent Green and Edward G. Robinson....will always remember he walked into the 'clinic', got a nice gurney with a white cover and incredible pictures of nature flashed on the wall before he got his 'cocktail' and got turned into little green crackers...

Wait a minute. Why does state sanctioned suicide have to have a justification? Any reason you pick is arbitrary, since no moral order applies. They should help anyone suicide who feels like it, no reason needed.
And since no moral order applies, shouldn't take long for the state to decide who it should help to suicide. Whether that person asks or not.
You know Canadians are only 2/3 as capable of seeing logical conclusions to policy as their US counterparts. With the exchange rate.

Well, I'd say Junior Trudeau is certainly mentally ill.

The mentally ill/mentally deficient were imperfect according to the Nazis so they had to be removed. Canada is on such a slippery slope right now, and I doubt they even realize it. Hitler must be cackling with glee from the hot zone, knowing that there are evil people out there who are going to emulate him and his policies.

My Mother suffered horribly as her leg was rotting with gangrene. Every time the nurses changed her diapers she screamed in agony. I and she would have liked the doctors to put her out of her misery. That said, if doctors had that right you know it would be abused, just like abortion. What to do?
