Assisted Suicide rate in Canada is 4.45 times the gun suicide rate in the U.S....but......guns?

[2aguy]

Whenever the anti-gun extremists try to use numbers to tell us how dangerous guns are in the hands of people who do not use their guns for crime......they lie. They combine the gun suicide rate to the gun murder rate, because that is the only way to elevate the gun murder rate.....so they lie....

Then, when called out, and then called out on the fact that other countries have higher suicide rates than we do......they start blubbering......

Now we know that Canadians are allowing the government to kill them at higher rates than gun suicide in this country...

While there were about 3,839 suicides per year in Canada in 2020, there were 13,500 assisted suicides in Canada in 2022. With a population of about 38.25 million people, that implies an assisted suicide rate of 35.294 per 100,000 people. The total suicide rate is about 45.

The assisted suicide rate in Canada in 2022 is about 4.45 times the firearms suicide rate in the US in 2021 (the latest year for both numbers). Even if you take Canada’s assisted suicide rate in 2021, when the program was ramping up, there were 10,500 assisted suicides, for a rate of 27.5 per 100,000 people. That is 3.46 times the US firearm suicide rate.

When the statistics Canada data on suicides comes out for 2021 and 2022, it will be interesting to see if suicides in Canada decline as the assisted suicide rate increases.

Apparently, some of the people who are opting for assisted suicide are those who aren’t getting the medical care that they need in Canada.

A quadriplegic woman in Bowmanville, Ont., has applied for medical assistance in dying (MAID), saying it’s easier to access than the support services she needs to live her life comfortably.
Rose Finlay, 33, has been a full-time wheelchair user since a diving accident when she was 17.
But for the past year, she says, she’s been without the reliable daily support she needs. Without that support, which includes bathroom assistance, she suffers from recurring urinary tract and kidney infections. . . .

One moment, please...

But.....they tell us guns make suicide easier......

What they don't want to understand, government is again killing more people than guns do when it comes to suicide....

And on another topic.......

Assisted suicide in Canada is easier to get than their healthcare.........

 

[Oddball]

Well, The State up there pays to have you kill yourself, so there's that.

Sounds like Canadians should outlaw their government and Turdeau---strike that, maybe they should get a REAL government that doesn't kill them.

Very important topic/points.

 

[MinTrut]

Yeah, people dying with dignity is a problem.

The problem is a RIGHT to die becoming an OBLIGATION.

Dude, you're an idiot.

And your point is idiotic.

Really?

Hilarious

Yes.

If you want to discuss this like an adult, let's do that.

Otherwise, why are you on the thread?

 

[otto105]

Yes.

Immediately jumping to an extreme position is discussion?

the real assisted suicide rates are astronomical worldwide since the jab.

I'd like to know what percentage of those are people with terminal illnesses.

I don't know why anyone has a problem with people who are suffering and in pain while waiting to die choosing to go out on their own terms.

Yeah, people dying with dignity is a problem.

There's no dignity in this

Why do you believe one has ANYTHING to do with the other?

 

[2aguy]

Why do you believe one has ANYTHING to do with the other?

You fail to understand the purpose of this thread....

Anti-gun extremists tell us that if we banned guns, it would be harder for people to commit suicide.......they then go on to ignore all of the countries where the people commit suicide in vastly higher numbers than we commit suicide in this country, pointing out that guns are not the issue in suicide......
