It is no secret that governments around the world are facing serious problems with their health care costs; the cost of modern technology, payroll pressures, an aging population and decreasing birth rates all point to further problems down the road. Canada, however, has found a solution to the problem; kill the patients, eliminate further costs.
As the article linked below points out, Canada has made government assisted suicide easier than ever; not mentally competent? Not a problem! Under the age of eighteen? Are you diabetic? Not a problem! Feeling down in the dumps? Nor a problem! In fact, medical staff will actively suggest the idea of euthanasia. Ah, the government is here to help.
The number of medically assisted suicides in Canada is so successful that Canada can proudly boast that it has the “fastest-growing assisted-dying program” in the world. Well, every country should be number one in something.
President Reagan was so correct when he said that the nice terrifying words you can hear are: “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”
