In this case, a gathering of the American Psychological Association.

Ms Lewis’ tugging on the intersectional crack pipe has been touched on before.

As when telling us, quite emphatically and with occasional chuckling, that abortion, via drugs or dismemberment, is a corrective killing, a righteous “unmaking.” A means of “going on strike against gestational work.” Says she, “We need to move away from… arguments around when human life begins.”

Which sounds terribly convenient for those with sociopathic leanings.

Oh, there’s more.

MAID Quackery Tommy Douglas: Not Dead Enough 19 Comments

A state-run euthanasia program governed by strict procedural safeguards.

It was Sunday, October 24, 2021, when 61-year-old Donna confessed to her family that she had been approved for Canada’s assisted-dying programme, officially known as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).

Her death was scheduled for the following Tuesday – expedited due to her having qualified for Canada’s streamlined ‘Track 1’ pathway, reserved for individuals whose natural death is reasonably foreseeable.

But Donna was not terminally ill, according to her daughters, who insist she was in the midst of a spiralling mental health crisis, triggered by a car accident and exacerbated by the isolation of the Covid-19 lockdown.

But most of all — it offers privacy.

Donna became the first known MAiD death in Canada to be investigated by police.

But the investigation grounded to a halt when the Fraser Health Authority refused to hand over the relevant records – the MAiD assessments themselves – to the police, citing privacy protections.

CBC;

A B.C. family doctor has been ordered to pay $28,100 after refusing to inject a transgender teen with a prescribed hormone blocker, citing religious and cultural reasons.

Dr. Henry Ajaero, who has run a family practice in Delta since 2014, was ordered to pay the compensation in a Sept. 1 B.C. Human Rights decision, which found his conduct was discriminatory.

In March 2021, Ajaero told a transgender teen and her mother who made an appointment at his practice that he would not inject a prescribed medication called Lupron, saying “he did not feel comfortable administering it.”

A smart provincial government could be poaching those doctors seeking escape. This would, however, require the backbone to actually take on the child mutilation cult in Saskatchewan and shut it down.

The Sound Of Settled Science

The latest on snake oil;

The scientific basis behind commonly used antidepressants is completely backwards, according to a review of the research.

For almost 50 years it has been believed by scientists and the public alike that depression is related to low levels of serotonin in the brain.

The most commonly prescribed antidepressant medications — like Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft — are thought to work by keeping serotonin levels higher.

So-called selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, block the re-absorption of serotonin into the cells that release it.

In fact, the review finds, the very best evidence available suggests people who are depressed actually have higher levels of serotonin in their brains, not lower.

This means that commonly used antidepressants are actually making the situation worse, not better.

The editors of the world’s most prestigious medical journals are sounding the alarm, and nobody is listening.

“We have peer reviewed, high impact editors in most of the journals that are the most high impact, saying that they don’t believe what is being published in those journals is trustworthy anymore.”

“The BMJ, The Lancet, all of those editors have come out and said, we have a huge problem. We can’t replicate this research and we actually don’t even know who did the research.”

“Everywhere we’ve looked for corruption, we’ve found it.”

Via Billboard Chris;

The FTC, along with Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas, have filed a lawsuit against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), alleging the organization has provided the means for medical providers to make false and unsubstantiated claims to parents in order to sell pediatric medical transition services.

WPATH, an association of clinicians who profit from pediatric medical transition services, recommended medical interventions, including drugs and surgery, for children and adolescents who expressed dissatisfaction with or distress about their sex traits. In their complaint, the FTC and its state partners allege that these recommendations misled parents and children about the medical consensus and medical necessity, as well as the safety and effectiveness, of such services, in violation of the FTC Act.

“Today, the FTC filed a lawsuit against WPATH alleging that the organization made false and unsubstantiated claims regarding the necessity, effectiveness and safety of puberty blockers, hormones and sex-change surgeries,” said Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson.

A double double with a side of blue needle;

A London, Ont., doctor who assessed a patient with inflammatory bowel disease and a history of mental health issues for MAID outside a Tim Hortons location and later personally drove the man to the place his life was ended has agreed to a minimum six months’ supervision.

In another case, Dr. James MacLean failed to administer one of three drugs used in assisted deaths — one that paralyzes the body’s muscles, including the muscles involved in breathing. The patient resumed spontaneously breathing again after initially being pronounced dead, and after MacLean had already left the home.

My goodness, he agreed to a supervision. That’ll teach him.

Where Would We Be Without “Insight”?

A Kitchener woman has been granted an absolute discharge following the second-degree murder of her infant son in 2020.

The incident took place on Aug. 9 at a home in Kitchener when the woman, who was experiencing a psychotic episode and auditory hallucinations, stabbed her infant son multiple times, resulting in his death.

She was arrested, but found not criminally responsible “on account of mental disorder” in April 2021 […]

At the hearing, the board noted that the woman had gained insight into the fact that she would need to take medication for the rest of her life and would abstain from the use of substances. The board added that she has “no violent ideation or significant behavioural instability.”

As a result of the hearing, she was granted an absolute discharge, meaning she has been found guilty with no penalty or fine, resulting in no criminal record.

I’m old enough to remember when it was called “killing” – and so is Danielle Smith;

Doctor-assisted death, often called MAID, Medical Assistance in Dying, will be prohibited for those under 18, persons whose only underlying medical condition is a mental illness and individuals without the capacity to make their own health-care decisions. So-called advance requests, pre-approvals for assisted dying before a person loses the capacity to provide informed consent, will also be prohibited.

MAID will also be prohibited where a natural death is not “reasonably foreseeable.” Those where natural death is determined by a doctor or nurse practitioner to be “reasonably foreseeable” will be eligible for MAID. “Reasonably foreseeable” means when their natural death is likely to happen within 12 months.

A couple more points.

Doctors and nurse practitioners in Alberta WILL NOT be able to refer people to get assessments outside Alberta on whether they are eligible for MAID. Doctors and nurse practitioners who have moral or religious objections to MAID will have the right to refuse to assess a person for an assisted death or provide one.

About “Safe Supply” is the way it redirects the drug trafficking revenue of organized crime into the pockets of government health officials.

Former senior health officials in BC left their government positions and launched an opioid vending machine company and a company to manufacture injectable heroin.

A researcher who advised the BC government on addiction for 20+ years revealed at health committee that both officials used their government positions to push safe supply and decriminalization before building companies around those same policies.

Mark Tyndall launched MySafe Society while still serving as a senior government official.

The company installed vending machines that dispensed opioids to drug users.

The federal government gave them over $3.5 million in taxpayer dollars to do it.

Perry Kendall founded Fair Price Pharma while serving as executive director of the government-funded BC Centre on Substance Use.

The company’s goal was to produce a domestic supply of injectable heroin.

Free Press- Death in One Day: Inside Canada’s Assisted-Suicide Machine

When I asked what doctors should do if a dementia patient who requested assisted suicide seems to waver, he said that MAID is part of compassionate care. “Even if the person resists, why can we not give that person some relaxant?” he said. Assisted suicide is “humanist care. Giving someone something to relax them is also care, because you’re relieving suffering.”

What Would We Do Without Medical Journals?

At Retraction Watch: The official journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society has just acknowledged that more than 100 of its case reports are fabricated.

Paediatrics & Child Health, the journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society, has published the cases since 2000 in articles for a series for its Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program. The articles usually start with a case description followed by “learning points” that include statistics, clinical observations and data from CPSP. The peer-reviewed articles don’t state anywhere the cases described are fictional.

The corrections come following a January article in New Yorker magazine that mentioned one of the reports — “Baby boy blue,” a case published in 2010 describing an infant who showed signs of opioid exposure via breast milk while his mother was taking acetaminophen with codeine. The New Yorker article made public an admission by one of the coauthors that the case was made up.
