File this under next steps. “Several Dutch citizens who had autism or other intellectual disabilities have died by physician-assisted suicide in recent years after doctors determined their afflictions were untreatable obstacles to a normal life, researchers found.”

The Netherlands is a good litmus for the death cult. They’ve been legally euthanizing people for over 20 years. Over that time, mission creep has set in – what was once unthinkable is increasingly typical.
Nearly 40 people who identified as autistic or intellectually disabled were legally euthanized in the Netherlands between 2012 and 2021, according to a Kingston University investigation of Dutch euthanasia cases.
Five people younger than 30 who were killed at their own request cited autism as the sole or a major reason for their decision to end their lives, the UK study found. ..
Slippery Slope.
Kasper Raus, an ethicist and public health professor at Belgium’s Ghent University, said the types of patients seeking out physician-assisted suicide have changed greatly over the past two decades in both the Netherlands and Belgium, where it is also legal.
When the Netherlands became the first country to legalize human euthanasia, the debate focused on people with cancer — not those with autism, Raus said.
Patients must meet strict requirements including suffering from an incurable illness that causes “unbearable” physical or mental anguish to be eligible for euthanasia — but doctors ultimately decide who qualifies.
Strict requirements. Yes.
Many of the patients cited a number of mental, physical and age-related ailments as the reason for ending their lives — including unbearable loneliness.
Eight people, however, named the sole cause of their suffering as factors related to their intellectual disability — such as social isolation, a lack of coping strategies, an inability to adjust to change or oversensitivity to stimuli.
Let us next consider a few things. Supporters of medically assisted dying are typically depopulation enthusiasts. Climate Cultists – or at least believers in the theory that mankind’s emissions are wrecking the planet. They are also good with the government closing businesses arbitrarily, unemploying millions, and isolating people, including children – creating personal and cultural pressure that leads to depression and mental illness.

Democrat Party also policy creates scarcity and pretends it is necessary. They prepare us for it by blaming austerity measures to save the planet. The Green New Deal (for example) is not so much a manifesto to save the earth as it is an economic program that makes living intolerable for the peasants. It creates a world where resources, even basic goods, and services, run short. You (not them) must have, do, and be less. The crisis it creates justifies further action to reduce the burden on those resources – you. If too few take the cue and line up to self-terminate, other measures will find a popular voice in the propaganda media.
They will try to normalize it like a childhood vaccine schedule that might be connected to the rise in cases of … autism.
Nor should we ignore the political elite’s open disdain for ideological opponents. The debate was once a cornerstone of science, but these days it is misinformation.
We are looking at all the ingredients for state-sanctioned genocide—the slippery slope marketed as good for the people, the nation, and the world.
The progressive political elites have not changed much in one hundred years. Their perfect society requires judicious cleansing. No public chatter about their master race – Hitler ruined that narrative, but they are ideological twins. Similar ends by different means. Get rid of the outcasts and unclean, the unproductive eaters dragging us down.
The Netherlands has been on this slope for twenty years. Canada is racing to catch up, as are US states like Hawaii, Vermont, and Oregon. And compassion has nothing to do with it.
