Canada MAID

[Joe Knapp]

Overview of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in Canada

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) is a legal process in Canada that allows eligible individuals to receive assistance from a medical practitioner to end their life. This law was first enacted in June 2016, allowing those with grievous and irremediable medical conditions to seek assistance if their death was reasonably foreseeable.

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for MAID, individuals must meet specific criteria:

• Be at least 18 years old and capable of making decisions.
• Have a grievous and irremediable medical condition.
• Provide informed consent to receive MAID.
• The condition must cause enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual.

Recent Changes and Controversies

In March 2021, the law was amended to include individuals whose death is not reasonably foreseeable. However, eligibility for those suffering solely from mental illness has been delayed until March 17, 2027. This delay has faced criticism, with concerns about the lack of safeguards and the potential for vulnerable individuals to be pressured into choosing MAID.

Statistics and Trends

Since the introduction of MAID, there have been over 60,000 [up to 90,000 now ] reported MAID deaths in Canada. In 2023 alone, 15,343 MAID provisions were recorded, accounting for approximately 4.7% of all deaths in the country. The average age of individuals receiving MAID in 2023 was 77.6 years.

Criticism and Human Rights Concerns

The expansion of MAID has drawn criticism from various human rights groups and disability advocates. Concerns include the adequacy of safeguards, the potential for coercion, and the perception that MAID may be viewed as a cost-saving measure for the healthcare system.

As Seventh-day Adventists, what is our role here? 

How can we keep silent? 

[Stan]

The issue is that no one should be forced to participate in something that violates their own belief. And not one should have to spend those last few weeks of their life in painful agony needlessly, we will let our loved ones suffer in a way we would not let our pets suffer.

Can you be a Canadian? Guess what, I can, because I’ve actually read the Mayflower Compact. 

Off topic ...

[Theophilus]

• The Compact applied specifically to the settlement of Plymouth Colony in what is now Massachusetts, USA — not to Canada.

• It was an agreement among settlers, not a statutory law passed by a modern parliament or legislature. University of North Dakota School of Law

• Over time, governments and jurisdictions evolve; the Compact did not remain binding or operative in modern legal systems, and it certainly hasn’t been adopted into Canadian statute law.

• Canada has its own legal foundations (British colonial law, Québec’s civil code, Constitution Acts, etc.) which do not incorporate the Compact as a source of law.

Stan, they are offing it to people with PSTD, poverty or depression.  90,000 people Stan.

Kelsi Sheren: "Canada Plans to Euthanize 15 Million People in the Next 20 Years" A chilling forecast has been released, and the numbers are nothing short of a national scandal.

According to a recent publication in the Journal of Death and Dying, Health Canada has a plan for "savings" that is as brutal as it is unprecedented.

As detailed by Kelsi Sheren, the analysis reveals that from 2027 to 2047, the government is on track to save a staggering $1.273 trillion. How? By providing 14.7 million Canadians with Medical Assistance in Dying (MADE) rather than palliative care.

Let that number sink in: 14.7 million people.

You are free to believe that if you want, and nobody knows what will happen in the future or even if we will all still be here in 20 years. However I highly doubt that the government ofCanada is planning to euthanise a third of its population.

NOT MY NUMBERS

----------------

The breakdown of this projection is where the abstract plan reveals a horrifying human cost:

- Over 9 million are projected to be our elderly.

- Over 4 million are projected to be the mentally ill and suicidal.

- Over 300,000 are projected to be from the Indigenous population.

- The remainder are counted among our most vulnerable: addicts and the homeless.

This isn't merely a policy shift; it is a state-sanctioned eugenics program, leveraging despair as a budgetary tool. The expansion set for 2027, which will specifically qualify individuals solely on the basis of mental illness, marks a dark new chapter. For those who find these statistics as unconscionable as we do, the data is available for public scrutiny in the SAGE Journal and the Journal of Death and Dying. The numbers don't lie. This is the calculated future being built for Canada.
