Euthanasia is a controversial subject. I just blogged here about the introduction of Euthanasia in Uruguay.
Should some individuals choose to die as to not become a burden on society or family?
Glenn Beck suggests that euthanasia could be used as a relief for an overburdened healthcare system.
"... On the global playing field, the nation is the front-runner for euthanasia, which it euphemistically calls medical assistance in dying [MAID].
Since legalizing MAID in 2016, Canada has seen the fastest increase in euthanasia deaths worldwide, surpassing even long-established programs in countries like the Netherlands and Belgium. In 2023, one in 20 deaths [or 5%] in Canada was a result of euthanasia.
This disturbing number is due to Canada’s broad criteria when it comes to who qualifies for the MAID program. Unlike most countries that practice euthanasia, Canadians don’t need to have a terminal illness to be eligible. To qualify for MAID, a Canadian citizen must be at least 19 years old, be mentally competent, and have some kind of insufferable condition, which can be psychological. ...
There is even an increasing number of cases of citizens who cannot find affordable housing being recommended or approved for the MAID program. ...
Canada’s medical system is overwhelmed, and euthanasia has become a means of controlling the population. ..."
