Canada is one of several Western nations rushing to loosen the laws around euthanasia. While its expansion of access to voluntary extermination by the state can be attributed in part to a concerted campaign in recent years by the leftist Trudeau government, it is clear that a significant portion...

An alarming number of secular citizens are gravitating towards supporting elective euthanasia for the mentally ill and poor.
Understandable really since morality 50 shades of Marxist gray for many secular humanists.
How many here support it as well?
I actually support helping the people. Let’s take a favorite of the Right. The Opioid Crisis. Since there is a problem with illegal opioids they restrict access to legal opioids. It becomes harder for the patients with chronic pain to get help. It makes it harder for them to be treated for their never ending agony. That agony is torture.
Think for a moment. How are people tortured? You hurt them. You do things to hurt them so they will break and give information. So they will break and do anything to end the pain. Anything.
Yet we in the interest of helping people force them to be in agonizing pain. We force them to endure torture. Risk of suicide in pain patients is extraordinarily high. But we already know that don’t we? We supported enhanced interrogation or torture because we believed it would work.
If your doctor prescribed pain meds then he will get a letter from the FDA and DEA letting him know you are getting too much. How do they know? Have they seen you? Doctors are persecuted and prosecuted for helping patients. Doctors are shut down for helping people. And patients are left swinging in the wind without any help.
Eventually they have to stop the pain. They take their own lives in desperation. They are suffering torture every minute, every second of the day. There is no relief. No help. Nobody can help.
It’s always curious to me. How so many who aren’t in the situation are so certain how those in the situation really feel. Men who have never been pregnant act like it is no big deal. People who are not in agonizing pain every day say the person should seek other options. Opioids are bad and you can overdose.
The good people pushing those in agony towards suicide do it with good intentions. With an arrogant belief that they know what is best. Now when assisted suicide is discussed it is outrageous. We should help the person beyond that desire.
Make the people suffer. That is what is best for them. Let them suffer like the Bible says. Job. Tortured for the amusement of Satan and God. That is what God really desires.
