    statistics showing more than 35 per cent of Canadians who died by MAID in 2021 felt they were "a burden on family, friends or caregivers” according to a Health Canada report

    This is what really fucks me up about this. Instead of putting fucking support services in place so that these people don't feel like a burden, just kill 'em and act like that's okay. Even more than that, let's incentivise their murder and act like it's a good thing.

    With more than 4,000 Canadians waiting for organ transplants, some of whom are dying, he says Canada’s numbers show a strong move to turn death into a win-win.

    :cringe: Me and my patient giving each other a wink and a thumbs up as I turn off his life support.

    Canada has socialized medicine, right? Is there a profit motive behind this?

      The profit motive is that the public system does not want to pay for these patients - a number of MAID people chose to die because they couldn't get affordable and supportive housing for example. It's cheaper for the system for them to be dead than alive.

      Every time they said they'd cut funding without losing services by "finding effeciencies", this is part of how they do it. The people who don't matter get denied service, there's not that many of them and no one with political power cares about them, and the government is not responsive to the public anyway.

      Not in conjunction with an eugenics program, that's for sure

      By the time we attain global socialism on any reasonable timescale, we're going to be able to grow most organs more than likely.

      Propaganda campaigns about organ donation, and changing from an opt-in model to an opt-out or even a required yes-or-no box on your ID form would go a long way to making people think about it. The main thing stopping people from being organ donors today is not wanting to think about it.

      All organs obtained without being involved in the person's death are ethically obtained. Corpses aren't people and don't have rights. But when you're the one who killed them things get a little weird

    Meh, this isn't a problem, everyone should be an organ donor. Yeah MAID is killing the poor but they're not doing it to steal organs.

      :downbear:

      Liberal answer that does not take into account market pressures, and allowing poor people to be harvested for organs on the free market. Incentives get followed, and creating a system that harvests poor people is not OK actually

      Organs cannot ethically be used as commodities. They must be stripped of all monetary values to remove perverse incentives.

      Okay but they're not. As things stand, it's just further financial incentive for the Canadian eugenics project.

      Woah, just a happy little accident then.

      Poor and disabled people should just kill themselves and give organs to everyone else who needs them more than they do.
