The Doctor Will Kill You Now

I’m old enough to remember when this was called “killing”;

An elderly woman in Canada was euthanized only hours after telling doctors she wanted to live and receive hospice care instead.

She had become very ill after heart surgery and was being cared for at home by her elderly husband, who doctors noted was experiencing “caregiver burnout.”

According to an official review, the woman told one assessor she wanted to withdraw her request for assisted death, citing “personal and religious values,” and asked for hospice care instead.

Her hospice placement was quickly denied, and her husband requested an “urgent” reassessment for assisted dying, saying he could no longer cope with caring for her.

She was euthanized that same evening.

The Doctor Will Kill You Now

New career opportunities for serial killers;

The mother of a 26-year-old man who was medically euthanized—after having previously opposed her son’s assisted suicide—alleges that one medical practitioner, whom she calls “Dr. Death #2,” approved her son’s death solely “based on mental illness.”

Kiano Vafaeian was medically killed via assisted suicide. His mother, Margaret Marsilla, shared a post on Facebook Tuesday, mourning her son’s death and blaming Canada’s assisted suicide regime and Dr Ellen Wiebe for her loss. Marsilla says Wiebe approved her son’s death when no other doctor would.[…]

Wiebe is one of Canada’s leading MAiD practitioners, having overseen over 400 assisted deaths. She serves on the advisory council of Dying with Dignity Canada and is a board member and research director for another pro-euthanasia group, the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers.

Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson- Weight-Loss Drugs and the Quiet Medicalisation of Everyday Life

A profound shift in how society understands body weight is occuring. Excess weight is no longer seen as the predictable outcome of ultra-processed food, sedentary work, and inequality, but as a pharmacological deficit requiring lifelong correction.

A medication that must be taken indefinitely to maintain its effect is not a public-health triumph; it is a subscription model.

National Post: Saskatchewan doesn’t have a surgeon who can complete the surgery. She has waited years to see a specialist

A Canadian woman who got approved for a medically assisted death because of a years-long wait to receive surgery for her chronically painful condition may finally get treated. American conservative commentator Glenn Beck has offered to pay for her to have surgery in the United States.

“If there is any surgeon in America who can do this, I’ll pay for this patient to come down here for treatment. THIS is the reality of “compassionate” progressive healthcare,” Beck said in a post on X after Jolene Van Alstine’s story spread across social media. “Canada must END this insanity and Americans can NEVER let it spread here.” […]

Her husband said he doesn’t want her to go through with her request for MAID, which has been scheduled for Jan. 7…
