stock here: This is actually happening. Soylent Green be damned.
He wasn’t offered treatment for his addictions and was put forward for MAiD.
His family had concerns that he was railroaded into “assisted suicide” by doctors.
During a psychiatric assessment, the man was asked if he was aware of MAiD, and given information on the option.
His MAiD provider later personally drove the man to the location where he was euthanized.
Multiple members of the death review committee considered the case a transgression of professional boundaries that could be seen as “hastening a person towards death.”
Other members disagreed, however, and claimed the doctor’s actions were “helpful and compassionate.”
The news comes after a new study revealed that the Canadian government’s socialized healthcare system is saving millions of dollars a year by euthanizing patients instead of treating them.
The study found that Canada’s healthcare system saves up to $136.8 million annually thanks to the government’s MAiD program.
However, critics are warning that vulnerable patients are being pressured into choosing death over “costly” care.
Many argue that euthanizing citizens to relieve the burden on the government is “heartless utilitarianism” that must be rejected.
The study was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
A “cost analysis of medical assistance in dying [suicide] in Canada” found that the policy saves the Canadian federal government up to $136.8 million every year, the study notes.
“As death approaches, healthcare costs increase dramatically in the final months,” the study states.
“Patients who choose medical assistance in dying may forgo this resource-intensive period.”
